Song a day keeps the doctor away!
Thursday 6th June 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Dr Yoon Irons will give an overview of research into group singing involving people living with longer-term health conditions, such as chronic pain, cystic fibrosis, and Parkinson’s. These conditions are chronic, or deteriorating over time, and no cure has been found. Yet, people with these conditions were reported to experience improvements in their health following group singing. Based on research evidence, Yoon will discuss the science behind of singing, which serves as rationale for developing group singing interventions targeting these health conditions. Specific health outcome measures will be discussed alongside the specific health conditions.
Participants will learn about the latest research evidence of group singing and will gain new knowledge which they can apply in their singing practice.
