 Benefits of Singing

An article in the The Indepedent, 2nd January, 2007, described the many benefits of choral singing:

"TAKE UP SINGING "

Choral singing increases immunity, reduces depression, improves cognitive function and mood, and increases feelings of wellbeing, according to research at the University of Western Ontario.

It can also stop the voice from ageing. Work at Sydney University shows singing helps people cope with chronic pain better, while a University of Frankfurt team found choral singing lowers stress levels and boosts the immune system.

 A survey of singers by Canterbury Christ Church University shows they had improved lung function and breathing.
