Singing for Our Minds is a transformative programme for choir leaders exploring the power of group singing to improve well being and build community
Through this initiative, we aim to highlight how singing together can benefit individuals by
- reducing stress
- enhancing emotional resilience
- creating strong bonds between participants
The Singing for Our Minds programme includes educational resources, leadership training, and action research to support those who lead singing groups, helping them create inclusive, welcoming environments. Whether in choirs, schools, universities, or community settings, we focus on empowering group singing leaders to enhance the mental health benefits of singing and foster a culture of inclusion.
Over our podcast series we explore a wide range of topics such as mental health, mastering your choir’s group dynamics, wellbeing for leaders, impact of trauma on the voice, the art of leadership and much more. Featuring discussions and interviews with some of the UK’s leading experts on conducting, singing and mental health.
