Singing is not just for divas and pop stars !

Singing is an ancient art form and a fundamental part of being human. And for good reason - singing, especially in a group, has been found to benefit all aspects of a person's wellbeing

Singing is good for your mind and spirit

Singing is not only good for your body, brain and physical abilities - it is also good for your mental and spiritual wellbeing. Studies have found that singing can help relieve grief, and helps with low mood and other mental health concerns. Singing in a group helps people feel less lonely, and enhances a sense of belonging and connection. It's uplifting and, above all, FUN!

Singing is good for your body and brain

Forget the gym and diets (hint: they don't work). If you want your body and brain to work better, try singing. It's been shown to improve lung function, reduce stress, strengthen your immune system, and increase your body's tolerance for pain. It can also help improve speech abilities in people with speech difficulties, and helps people with dementia with memory. It aids attention and concentration skills, and improves listening skills.
