Does Choir Participation have Bio-psychosocial Benefits?

Does singing in a choir provide cost-effective health benefits? The answer may be forthcoming if a peer reviewed study proposed in BMC Public Health publishes their findings.  The idea is that choir programs "will be a practical and acceptable community-based approach for promoting health and well-being of older adults" (Johnson, et al., 2015).

The proposed study aims are two-fold. First, the study measures the effectiveness of a choir on health and well-being and, second, the cost-effectiveness in terms of quality adjusted life years (QALYs) per assessed program costs and persons served is considered.

The benefits of involvement with the choir may include fewer falls, greater mobility, less anxiety, greater cognitive engagement, better attention and executive function, memory, and overall greater well-being.

Another study, published in Psychology of Music in 2013, indicates that choir singing provides social and mental health benefits. The findings seem to be consistent with the aims of the aforementioned study.

Praise Hymn Fashions is honored to partner with many community choirs, providing an opportunity for social impact and greater well-being.
