Singing is a gymnasium for the body and soul. Singing works deeply into our physiology: deepening breath and heart rate, altering brain wave patterns and strengthening the immune system. It also releases endorphins, the body's pleasure hormones, into the brain and body.
Singing also exercises all the muscles in the head and neck. Singing can also help to build a person's confidence and self-esteem, and can increase their capacity for self expression.
Recent research also indicates that a wide range of musical experiences has a powerful effect on influencing language development, as well as increasing concentration, memory, visual and listening skills, spatial orientation and physical coordination.
