Singing and Health Versus Singers’ Health
Thursday 13th April 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
The lecture will examine the paradox of findings from clinical settings showing health improvements from singing – particularly in community settings – alongside the growth of concepts such as social prescribing, clashing with the paradox that professional singers often suffer from poor mental health.

This lecture is a MUST for anyone engaged in the singing for health profession and for those who are serious about addressing the mental health issues of our profession!
