"From the brain to the heart, singing has been found to bring a wide range of benefits to those who do it, particularly if they do it in groups. It can draw people closer together, prime our bodies to fight off disease and even suppress pain." www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

I've spoken a lot about this - I noticed so many uni lecturers teaching online during COVID, using their voices differently and tiring themselves out. The instinct to use the voice changes in a large room, we use our bodies differently. #voice #teaching www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/o...
