THE MUSICAL BREATH : Singing for Lung Health – 2007-2025
Tuesday 3rd June 2025, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This presentation will offer an overview of Singing for Lung Health in the UK and how it has developed over the past 17 years.
Phoene Cave started the work at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals in London and has gone on to train 320+ facilitators globally. Her personal experience is at hospital bedside with individuals and with groups of outpatients.
She will cover:
- How might tailored singing sessions support the self-management of symptoms for those with chronic lung conditions and/or complex breathlessness?
- How might the speaking and singing voice be impacted by lung disease?
- How are movement, mindset and breath linked?
- How do we hold space musically and responsively?
- What is the difference between advocacy, evaluation and research in this field?
- Can this creative and holistic experience be captured and evidenced?
- How are the sessions funded and by whom?
The session will appeal to singing teachers, community choir leaders, respiratory nurse specialists, as well as allied health professionals (e.g. music therapists, respiratory physiotherapists and occupational therapists) and anyone challenged with breathlessness.
