Socialising |
The Dew Drop Inn in the Banbury road is the customary meeting-place after rehearsal on Thursday evenings, and it is here where plans are often laid for other activities, in particular the choir holiday abroad. |
Summertown Singers We have given free recitals of madrigals and part-songs, from the program of our concert in Spain, for the National Trust, and we are open to further performance opportunities. Singing and Health "Research at Newcastle University shows that communal singing is good for mind and body. It's relaxing, improves breathing and muscle tone and creates a healthier immune system. Depression, stress, low esteem, even asthma and chronic pain, have been helped by singing. There are claims that regular singing can prolong life, and that it helps in the treatment of stammering." (Independent 2003) Good technique helps to maximise the benefits and pleasure of singing, so we organise regular workshops (once per year) with recognised singing teachers, to give us all an opportunity to improve.
