It is a known fact that choristers report higher levels of well-being than solo singers. This suggests musical experiences are enhanced by feeling part of a cohesive social group.
It is also a known fact that singing is full of health benefits.
- Singing increases breath control.
- Singing strengthens diaphragm and other respiratory muscles.
- Singing reduces stress (due to singing on an outbreath).
It is also a known fact that singing is a lot of fun!
At Breathing Matters, we have decided to set up a choir for patients, relatives, friend and staff in the London area.
If you are interested in getting involved or have any queries, please email either Beatriz Santos at beatriz.santos@btinternet.com (mobile: 07545 328644), or Donna Basire at breathingmatters@ucl.ac.uk
