Singing for Fun 

Do you want to keep your brain young? 

Learning a foreign language or playing a musical instrument have both proved to be an effective way to do just that.  However, not everyone wants to try either of these options. 
 
So, why not try something different and join a local choir?  Group singing has been shown to stimulate many parts of the brain at the same time.  When we sing, we need to retrieve words, speak them out loud, and handle pitch, tone and rhythm.  All this while triggering the release of the anti-anxiety bonding hormone oxytocin!!
 
Studies at University College London have shown that a single session of singing is enough to considerably lower stress levels and, according to a doctor of psychobiology and epidemiology at UCL, it reduces inflammation and supports the immune system, too.
 
Add to this the social aspect and the enjoyment we have learning new pieces, Singing for Fun obviously does exactly what is says on the box!!
