Singing offers numerous health benefits, according to German musicologist and psychologist Kathrin Schlemmer. Studies indicate that singing can enhance lung function, bolster the immune system, and reduce stress. Schlemmer emphasizes the importance of joy in singing and explains that group singing fosters positive emotions through the release of endorphins and oxytocin. While anyone can sing, certain conditions like amusie can impair musical perception. The social connections formed through choir singing are particularly beneficial, highlighting the significance of context in the experience of singing.
