Clinical relevance

  • Respiratory health: singing supports controlled breathing, useful for COPD, post-COVID, and neurological conditions.
  • Neurological rehab: rhythm and vocalisation support speech and motor recovery (post-stroke, Parkinson’s).
  • Mental health: reduces anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal.
  • Falls prevention: group activity reduces sedentary behaviour and builds routines.

Research shows singing groups improve respiratory function, wellbeing, and social connectedness.
