Improve your health and happiness—SING!

Besides the joy of making music there are many personnel benefits for the members as research by the University of Oxford has discovered.
Music making exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly beneficial for improving breathing, posture and muscle tension. Listening to and participating in music could also be effective in pain relief.
Regular choir members report that learning new songs is cognitively stimulating and helps their memory, and it has been shown that singing can help those suffering from dementia, too.
Singing has also been shown to improve our sense of happiness and wellbeing.
Social connections can play a vital role in maintaining our health – a good social network, for example, can have more health benefits than giving up smoking. So it’s possible that singing can improve health by expanding our social group. Indeed, the rapid social bonding that choirs encourage could therefore be even more beneficial.
Singing provides an inclusive and cost-effective means of combating the disintegration of communities that is becoming endemic in many societies today. So whether you’re more into chamber music, the Beatles or Frozen singalongs, joining one of our groups could prove the perfect way to improve your health, well-being, and social life.

Well done my lovely Bridgwater Voices Community Choir members, those of you who were lucky enough to be part of a local couple’s special wedding day. You all worked really hard leading up to the big day and sang beautifully.
Thank you 😊
