Morgensang (morning song) is a longstanding custom in Danish folk high schools (højskoler). Students and staff gather early to sing folk songs, hymns, and traditional tunes together before breakfast. This builds community and reflects the educational philosophy of N.F.S. Grundtvig, emphasizing song as part of “life awakening.” It has influenced similar practices elsewhere in the United States; in rural North Carolina, for example.
