A Proposed Longitudinal Study of the Effect of Choral Singing on Wellness
At the close of this study, it is anticipated that the psychological and physiological benefits of choral singing will show generalizable and significant outcomes. Such results will help support a renewal for choral education within school systems, implicate the importance of singing for health throughout our lives, artistically energize the 'workplace' of American lives — as choirs are formed within businesses — and finally, enable renewed connection between mind, body and spirit.
