Abstract | Throughout time, and within differing cultures, music has been understood to have a beneficial impact on health. Group singing, in particular, may have specific benefits for health when compared to alternative forms of music making and listening, and there exists a growing body of research examining the impact of singing on health. This mixed methods study explored the benefits to health and wellbeing reported by people attending a generic singing for health group. A comparison of findings was made against existing data regarding benefits reported by people attending condition-specific groups. Results indicated a similarity in reported benefits and a preference for a generic group, which may have implications for the future commissioning of singing for health groups. |
