I know I don’t have to keep reminding you about the importance of relaxation but…
Did you know… research has shown that singing can reduce stress?
Allow me to share with you some interesting research findings that support the above statement…
A study was conducted in 2013 to investigate whether singing in a choir, could influence anxiety levels.
The results of this research project showed that singing relieved anxiety and contributed to a better quality of life.
Singing decreases the stress hormone called cortisol.
Singing also elevates endorphins, your happy hormones, which in turn makes you feel happy and relaxed.
Singing in a choir leads to an increase in the ‘bonding’ hormone called oxytocin, which alleviates the feelings of loneliness.
