What do you believe is the importance of the school choir in today’s society?
Ben: Singing as a group promotes good social and mental skills and is beneficial for wellbeing and mindfulness. It also offers the benefits of teamwork, understanding and collaboration. It’s so important for young minds to be stretched in myriad ways – whether it be through sport, drama or music – and choir can offer so many complementary benefits to a successful and healthy school life.
What benefits does choir singing have for mental and physical wellbeing?
Ben: Heart beats synchronise and brain signals coordinate when singers sing together! Significant studies have been taken to prove the benefits of singing together, both for young people (even babies) and those of advancing years. The power and emotion of music can have a startlingly palpable effect on wellbeing.
