If you live in the Melbourne area, I highly recommend going to Choralfest! It's such a great opportunity to basque in the choir world with hundreds of other choral singers and conductors.

Choralfest is Australia’s premier national choral symposium, a vibrant celebration of choral artistry, performance, and education.

Playing a musical instrument is a brain workout in itself! :)

✔️ Engages motivation and reward systems
✔️ Builds readiness and confidence to take risks

Get out of the shower and into a choir!! :)

Wonderful words of wisdom by Marianne Rigby: "singing is a ‘natural human activity’ that many of us have forgotten and is our first natural instrument... singing in a choir builds social connections and may reduce stress and depression... singing is one of the few activities that utilises both hemispheres of the brain and builds synapse connections across the brain.”
