– You can make new friends and get to know other people in Stockley Park. Singing in a choir is great for forging social bonds, it also does so particularly quickly, acting as an excellent icebreaker. You’ll have a sense of increased community and belonging!

– Singing improves breathing, posture and helps reduce muscle tension, and releases endorphins!

– Learning new songs is cognitively stimulating and helps improve memory, and it has been shown that singing can help those suffering from dementia, too.

– Choir is a friendly and sociable gathering! – It’s scientifically proven! Research has found that people feel more positive after actively singing due to the release of neurochemicals such as ?-endorphin, dopamine and serotonin.
