Is Singing Good for YOU?
"The
health benefits of singing are both physical and psychological. Singing
has physical benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases
oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the
upper body, even when sitting.
Singing has psychological benefits
because of its normally positive effect in reducing stress levels
through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense
of emotional well-being.
Psychological benefits are also evident when
people sing together as well as alone because of the increased sense of
community, belonging and shared endeavour."
- Professor Graham Welch, Chair of Music Education at the Institute of Education, University of London
