Why singing together is magical and unique

There is something special about a group of people singing together.

And it’s not just about sense of community and the health benefits. It really is a unique activity.

Think of an activity that enables any mixed group of strangers of any age to create something beautiful together, as a team, in a matter of minutes. With no equipment, no previous experience, no special clothing, and anywhere you like.

Thought of something yet?

I believe there is only one candidate: singing together.

More than that: singing together in harmony with no musical accompaniment.

It’s probably the best fun you can have with your clothes on!

It’s magical and special, and I really can’t think of any other activity that fits the bill.

Plus, you also get the health benefits and social cohesion and sense of community. What’s not to like?

This is why I love my job.

Don’t believe it’s possible? Come to one of my singing events, or any run by my colleagues in the Natural Voice Network.

No singing experience needed, no prior musical knowledge expected, no need to read music, come with friends or cosy up with strangers ... and witness magic in minutes.
