Why join a choir?
Musical Benefits
Singing in a choir improves your innate musicality. It helps develop your musical ear, enabling you to fine tune intonation. You will also find that your sight-reading comes on in leaps and bounds, and you will develop a much deeper understanding and appreciation of harmony.
Singing in a choir will also help build your musical confidence. Even if you think you can’t sing, being given permission to make a noise as part of a group can see your confidence grow rapidly.
Health and Wellbeing
Singing as part of a choir creates a sense of belonging. It also brings enormous emotional benefits, promoting good mental health.
A proper singing session is a wonderful workout for the lungs. The actions of warming up, breathing deeply, and opening the diaphragm all oxygenate the blood, creating more white blood cells, which strengthens the whole body. The breathing rate slows and deepens, releasing endorphins and increasing a profound sense of well-being. All this lung action reduces the chance of illness and is excellent for people who suffer asthma. Singing also improves your posture and tones your stomach muscles – a strong core supports the spine so your body will be less prone to injury as you age.
