Group singing is so beneficial to our wellbeing, and has been scientifically proven to provide a wealth of physical and psychological health benefits, including:
• Reducing pain (singing releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer)
• Reducing stress (singing has been proven to lower cortisol levels)
• Lifting our mood
• Promoting deep breathing (great for managing anxiety or lung conditions)
• Improving immunity
• Lowering blood pressure
• Improving posture
• Making us feel better
Sing Your Pain Away run workplace singing events and singing projects, dementia choirs, choirs for charities, singing classes for retirement developments and much more!

Our Workplace Singing Services
Workplace Wellbeing
Virtual or In-Person Singing Sessions
With many businesses having now given up their offices and staff working remotely these highly interactive sessions are a great way to bring together your team and enjoy some light relief with lots of singing, laughter and fun. We can also combine singing with other wellbeing activities such as tai chi, meditation or dance if you want to create a half day or even a full day wellbeing event for your team.
Song choices are tailored to suit your particular group so that there will be music that everyone enjoys, and no singing ability is needed!
Please contact us for more details and a quotation.
