You develop musical harmony and rythmic sense, and start to enjoy the sounds you make in conjunction with others in a choir.Once you get your nose out of the music sheet and follow the conductor's lead for tempo, expression, volume and sentiment you find yourself participating in a beautiful harmonic creation.Yep ! Singing is good for you.The problem is a dearth of good conductors, who will spend time with a choir individually and collectively. Wed 20 May 2009 21:38:17 GMT+1
