Physical - singing is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the blood stream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting.
Physiological - singing reduces stress levels through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being.
Psychological - when people sing together they attain an increased sense of community, belonging and shared endeavour.
Taranaki Song Club is run by Philippa Drinkwater.
