The benefits of Singing
It Lifts Your Mood – Studies have shown that when the brain releases endorphins like dopamine after listening to or creating music, it positively affects feelings of happiness. Also just like a normal exercise routine, vocal lessons improve circulation by introducing more oxygen into our blood, and with more oxygen comes mental alertness. Helping with concentration and memory too!
It’s a Great Stress Reliever – Singing has long been recognized as an effective stress reliever. Research suggests singing is more powerful than any other type of musical activity and can have a calming effect on the body.
Improves Lung Function – Now, more than ever, many people have become conscious about their lung health. Singing can lead to improved lung function and increased respiratory capacity. This means that people who sing regularly have better stamina, making it easier to engage in physical activities like running or climbing stairs. Professional singers normally have a larger lung vital capacity or the ability to take in air compared to a normal person. It means that they can sing a note much longer and with more power. Voice lesson instructors can help improve your vocal stamina significantly so that you can enjoy singing much longer with more power and clarity.
Improves Speaking Abilities – Singing requires you to use the breath in a certain way and helps to train your vocal muscles, allowing you to better control your tone and projection when speaking. Those who regularly sing are known to have better articulation and increased confidence when discussing or presenting in front of an audience. This combination allows singers to improve their ability to talk more fluently in any situation.
Helps Ease Grief – Music has long been used by many as a way of coping with sorrow. As a form of self-expression, it can increase feelings of joy and support when one is feeling emotionally overwhelmed and can even stimulate the release of endorphins, offering a temporary and healthy escape from the pain we are feeling. Plus, songs have the potential to act as reminders of our loved ones and evoke happy memories, helping us to process our grief in a more positive light.
