Choir is Good for Your Health

Choir nerds and music educators, listen up! This is a message from a longtime choir cabinet member and Bass II, who married a music teacher. Great news! Being a part of a choir is good for your health!

"Whether it's an a cappella group or the church chorale, a small new study shows that singing in a choir could do a lot for your state of mind. The findings, published in the journal Psychology of Music and conducted by researchers at Abant Izzet Baysal University in Turkey, show that singing in a choir is associated with decreased levels of anxiety."

You can read the rest here. So, the next time you update your folder, sharpen your note-taking pencil and start your vocal warm-ups, know that you're getting benefitted!
