Abstract:
Group singing has experienced a revival in the UK in recent years, with a notable success being the Military Wives Choirs Foundation (MWCF). The MWFC asked the Sidney De Haan Research Centre to help them evaluate their work – a principal objective of MWCF is to bring women in the military community closer together through singing. Following an on-line questionnaire survey and interviews, results in this report showed positive benefits to singing, such as increased friendship, improved health, higher levels of personal confidence, developing new skills, and a stronger personal identity.
