The Benefits of Singing

by Kevin on December 3, 2009

Most people find the art of singing an easy way of becoming popular, making it to the showbiz industry and of earning money. There are more advantages that singing has to offer to those who know the craft.

Here are some practical uses in everyday lives.

1. Things learned in singing can be applied to daily lives

Learning how to sing needs much discipline. This discipline can be applied to other aspects in life.

Also, once you have learned the proper breathing needed in singing, you will never have to worry at any time of the day if you are breathing properly.

2. Singing induces pleasure.

No matter what song you sing, and whether they please other people, singing brings pleasure and relaxation. There are scientific studies that prove this statement.

There is an organ found in the inner ear (called the sacculus) that only responds to low frequency, high intensity sounds – ideally the sound produced by singing.

This organ immediately reacts to singing, and causes the release of pleasure-inducing endorphins.

3. Singing uplifts the spirit

Apart from being used in religious practices, singing can practically uplift the spirit and the mood as well. It is an antidepressant, but unlike those taken as prescription drugs; singing doesn’t have adverse side effects.

4. Singing can be considered as a catharsis too.

Singing is one practical way of expressing one’s feelings. The whole human emotional spectrum can well be expressed through singing.

5. Singing is good for respiration and blood circulation.

Singing requires proper breathing, causing the following health benefits to happen:

- Muscle tension is released because of the right amount of oxygen taken in by the body.
- Comparatively, more calories are burned just by breathing properly. So, you can lose weight without tiring one’s self. The only requirement is proper breathing.

6. Singing improves socialization in communities

Many studies linked social participation and singing (as observed in choral groups, and church organizations that engage in singing activities).

Here are some of social advantages:

- Social tension is released when singing in groups. The relationship is worked out by singing and working together to create harmony.
- Singing creates a common experience for the group, contributing more to the solidarity and unity of the said organization.

With all the advantages of singing mentioned above, you need to find a reason to start singing now.
