Abstract: | Song plays a powerful and empowering role in human life: there is clear evidence of a reciprocal, complex and inextricable relationship between music, singing and wider social, cultural, educational, health and psychological traits. The broad scientific evidence speaks to the relationship between music, singing, health, education and wellbeing (MacDonald, Kreutz, & Mitchell, 2012). Studies report that singing enhances moods, facilitates the development of skills and self-esteem, helps to energize yet relaxes the body, relieves stress and tension, improves breathing, distracts attention from personal worries and pressing problems, and boosts the body’s immune system (Clift, 2012; Horn, 2013; Uhlig, 2006). |
