Abstract:
Findings from a controlled evaluation of the health benefits of a participative community singing programme for older people, involving a pragmatic randomised controlled trial by the Sidney De Haan Research Centre for Arts and Health.
Findings suggest a significantly greater improvement in mental health quality of life in individuals who participate in group singing for 12 weeks compared to those continuing with normal activities.
