It’s January. The time of year where many of us are thinking about what we’d like to change or achieve throughout the next twelve months.
Whether you’re looking to make new friends, learn or improve a skill, add more joy to your life or simply want to find something to do with your free time, trying a new activity might be the perfect goal for 2024.
And, we might be biased, but we think that joining a choir could be one of the best decisions you’ll make this year.
Boost your mental wellness 💜
Singing has a hugely positive impact on our wellbeing. Not only does it release endorphins, serotonin and dopamine (the ‘happy’ chemicals that boost your mood), it can also improve lung capacity, help release stress and anxiety and improve memory.
Engaging in group singing is an amazing way to improve the benefit of singing even further. Joining an activity where you can share positive experiences with others and connect over a shared passion is a great way to feel a sense of belonging.
At Love Soul Choir, we’re committed to supporting our members in feeling happy and well. That’s why we were so pleased that 100% of members said they leave sessions feeling happier than when they arrive in our 2023 survey.
Learn a new skill 🪄
Who doesn’t love learning something new!?
Being part of a choir means you’re always learning new things. That might be learning lyrics to a song you’ve never heard before, a harmony to a song you already know and love or learning some brand new choreography.
This year at Love Soul Choir, we’re implementing some British Sign Language (BSL) into the choreography for one of our songs. This will be a first for us and we know that our members are already really excited about it! Dan (Choir Leader) has been working with Lily (Level 3 BSL Student) on this and he can’t wait to watch this project come to life.
Increase your confidence 🚀
If you’re looking to increase your confidence, joining a choir is one of the best things you can do. Whether your confidence goal is to feel able to perform in front of an audience, to be able to sing a solo or even to feel more confident meeting and speaking to new people, we’d really encourage you to join a group like Love Soul Choir!
Try something new ✨
And finally, joining a choir is a great way to try something new. Although we have an audition process at Love Soul Choir, we’re not looking for professional singers who have tonnes of experience of singing and performing. It’s totally okay if you have never auditioned for anything before, have never sung as part of a group, or if becoming a member means you’ll be performing on a stage for the very first time.
