5 Surprising Benefits of Choir Singing 🎶

1. Natural Physiotherapy - Singing is like a workout for your respiratory system. Many members notice they feel less breathless climbing stairs!

2. Your Body's Defence System Gets Stronger - Studies show that singing increases immunoglobulin A - your body's first line of defence against illness. Just one hour of singing can boost your immune markers for weeks

3. Natural Stress Relief - Singing releases endorphins (happy hormones) whilst reducing cortisol (stress hormone). It's like meditation, but more fun! And group singing creates an even bigger mood boost than solo singing.

4. Brain Training Disguised as Fun - Learning lyrics, following a conductor, and harmonising with others gives your brain an incredible workout. Singing uses both sides of your brain simultaneously.

5. Instant Community & Lifelong Friendships - Singing together creates unique bonds. The shared breathing, harmonising, and performing builds trust and connection faster than most activities. Choir members often say it's like having an instant extended family!

“I nearly didn’t join because I didn’t think I was confident enough.”

This is something we hear all the time.

Most of our members didn’t join feeling brave or outgoing.

They joined feeling unsure, nervous, or quietly hopeful.

Confidence isn’t a requirement here.
It’s something that grows gently, week by week.

🎶 WHO ARE THE CHOIR TEAM? 🎵

Meet... Sharon!

Sharon says:

"I joined the choir about 10 years ago whilst working at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust where the choir was originally formed.

Over the years I’ve been an active member of the choir and in 2018, helped to set up a branch in Walmley for the Sutton Coldfield area.

In 2024, I was privileged to take up the role of Chair and to work alongside skilled and dedicated members of the Management Team who all give their time to ensure that the choir keeps going and remains financially sound.

My role as Chair is to work with other members of the Management Team to ensure that the choir constitution is upheld and facilitate a safe environment where choir members can come together to enjoy singing and camaraderie.

I also take an active role in the running of the Sutton branch."

We are so grateful for Sharon's guiding hand, keeping our future plans and aspirations for the Choir on track! ❤
