So how did we do it?
• Antidote to “Bowling Alone”
• 2010 quantitative study: “…a large majority of choristers … agreed that singing has a positive impact on their personal wellbeing.”
• It has been shown that singing sparks the release of oxytocin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in our ability to forge and maintain relationships, to empathize, trust, and even love one another.
