Coach Beth Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Did you know that singing with others makes us happier and healthier?According to a Huffington Post Article, 10 Reasons to Make Singing Your Happiness Drug research has shown that 'group singing makes us happier, healthier, smarter and more creative. Every time you sing, you fire up the right temporal lobe of your brain, and release endorphins including oxytocin which result in heightened states of pleasure, bliss, bonding and love. (1)These chemicals also enhance neuroplasticity of our brains, boost our immune system, fight illness, depression and strokes and help us handle pain better. What's more, choral singers have been shown to have enhanced learning skills, synchronized heartbeats and enter patterns of yogic breathing.'So if you'd like to experience the benefits of singing with others, why not join a local choir? The Goose Green Community Choir meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 - 8pm, after which we retire to the pub. We sing a range of songs including pop and gospel arrangements for choirs.
