Shannon Express: The Benefits of Singing
Have you ever sung along to the radio on a sunny day or in the car as you travel alone? Do you sing in the bathroom and enjoy the way the sound echoes off the tiled surfaces? Have you ever sung a child to sleep? 
Singing releases endorphins, feel-good hormones for pleasure. It uses the full capacity of our lungs, which exercise the body. It requires concentration and memory to get it right, which exercises the ‘little grey cells’ in our brain.
There are many openings in choirs or choruses and much fun to be had on a dark winter or summer evening – joining in and getting to know new people whilst enjoying a rewarding hobby. Singing for others is fun and giving concerts can be a highlight. Look around and find somewhere to join in today!
