3.The Benefits of Singing
Singing and making sound is good for the soul and is enjoyment .
Just watch the change in the people on this busy morning train and how they felt after this!
Why? Because singing, is one of those activities wired to strong areas of the brain. Scientists have found that different parts of the brain handle different aspects of a song.
And one of the discoveries is that the parts of the brain that deal with emotions also fire up in response to music. In other words, music is wired directly into our feelings. Singing is also an aerobic exercise which sees the release of endorphins, the brain’s ‘feel-good’ chemicals,
So, if you want to feel happy, sing happy feel-good songs .
