The psychological benefits of singing are related to:
Intrapersonal Communication and Development of Individual Identity, Both in Music and Through Music A safe and healthy use of the voice is connected to a positive self-concept and the ability to communicate. Successful singing fosters self-esteem, overall confidence, and self-efficacy. The voice is a key component of who we are; its use reflects our mood and general psychological well-being, which is communicated to both ourselves and others.
Singing is a Cathartic Activity Singing provides an outlet for our emotions. Through its physical activity and the related internal endocrine system it triggers, singing can enable us to feel better about ourselves and the world around us. From birth, our earliest auditory experiences are oriented toward the human voice, primarily through the first hearing of our mother’s voice in the womb. Every use of the voice, including singing, is intertwined with fundamental emotional states central to the human condition, such as joy and sadness. The psychological benefits of singing are evident in the daily environments of children, including schools, nurseries, homes, and hospitals, as well as for the elderly in residential centers, day care facilities, and community choirs.
Interpersonal Communication Healthy singing allows us to maximize our communication potential with others. We learn to improve our basic vocal coordination, enhance vocal color (timbre), and influence the intentional variety in our vocal communication. In fact, for 25% of the working population, the voice is a fundamental work tool (including teachers, lawyers, clergy, telephone salespeople, actors, singers, and businesspeople). Singing exercises the basic vocal mechanism and improves its functional capacity, from childhood throughout life, regardless of the context.
