Singing4Health: Promoting Well-being Through Singing

SINGING4HEALTH delivers singing activities for a wide range of beneficiaries, with a health related approach.

THE PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES of Singing4Health are people who risk becoming isolated because of age, disability, or the demands of a role as carer. Also nurses, student nurses, and other healthcare professionals will also benefit from this project both as participants and as trainees. And also any group or community at risk of discrimination or unfair treatment for any reason, or who want to sing together with a focus on their health, wellbeing and socialization.

The most important thing about this approach is that you feel good participating, so we take into consideration your needs and well-being prior to the demands and stresses of being focused in public performances.

SINGING is good for everyone and everybody should be invited to having singing as part of their lives. Singing is also an excellent tool for working with groups of people that are very diverse, and develop their integration and interaction in the ensemble.

SINGING4HEALTH PROVIDES training and resources for focusing in a holistic approach to singing for well-being.

SINGING4HEALTH OFFERS consultancy services to organizations and community groups on the field of music and well-being.

I am a musician, singing for health leader and an educator, with experience in teaching music for health and wellbeing and a background in Public Health and Social Prescribing.

I have 23 years of experience in choir leading, voice training and community building for adults lifelong learning, with a wide range of interdisciplinary training (CV on request) and experience in training of facilitators.

I ground my work in the exploration of the creative performer and the relationship between health and singing. I have delivered training for music teachers and designed curriculum and structure for various organisations. I have been occasional lecturer at Kingston University Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education and I am a steering committee member of the Music, Spirituallity and Wellbeing International Organisation, working with the Rev Professor June Boyce-Tillman.

I got to conduct one of the first Choirs for people living with HIV in the UK, Positive Voices, that later became the Bloomsbury Choir. I delivered numerous workshops for organisations such as MENCAP, Refugee Action, Queen Mary’s Hospital and St George’s Hospital, Heritage2health, Maudsley Learning, Four in Ten (LGBT service users at the Maudsley Hospital) and became an occasional lecturer for Kingston University Faculty of Health and Social Care through Heritage2Health.

So many learning opportunities around took me to learn more about singing and health, as I joined training courses in Dementia and the Arts, Mental Health, Health Improvement, Menopausal and Ageing Voices, Singing for Lung Health (Phoebe Cave), Singing for COPD (Canterbury Christchurch University), Dementia Awareness Training, Singing for Parkinson’s (Canterbury Cantata Trust), Facilitation in Mental Health and Prison Settings, Public Health amongst others, and I joined the Winchester University Health and Wellbeing Research Group at the Centre for the Arts and Wellbeing.

Through personal and collective exploration, developed my interpretation of Primal Singing Integrative™ and I love that some students call it “singing without words”, that you can read about in Living Song (Peter Lang editors 2021). I also have recently published a chapter in “Un Angulo Me Basta”, a book on education by six Spanish specialist, talking about music education and purpose.

I am proud to have worked as Social Prescriber under the British Red Cross during the most difficult times of COVID lockdowns (2020 to 2022) for two Basingstoke’s PCNs. I am Associate Member of The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and part of the Singing for Health Network.Write your text here...
