Why singing is a great hobby

Trallalalalaaaaa... Why singing is so good for you!

In the shower, in the car, in the choir ... singing is simply fun. And it's really healthy! Something happens to us when we turn on the radio in the bathroom, spontaneously pick up the brush and start singing "Life is life" at the top of our voices. Sure, we remember the wild 80s and how much fun we had with shoulder pads and the Walkman. But not only that. Because singing does so much good for the mind, body and soul. Whether loud or quiet, in front of an audience or alone: We can all sing - and should do it much more often.

Musik und Singen beeinflusst uns positiv - nutzen Sie die Kraft der Musik

Schubidubidu - it awakens positive emotions in us

Oh, how wonderful it was back then when we had our first kiss to Roxette, paraded around to Bon Jovi and sang Rolf Zuckowski with the kids. Nothing grabs you by the emotional collar like music. When we listen to it - and even more so when we sing ourselves. This is because it releases masses of happiness hormones, while at the same time reducing the stress trigger adrenaline. An Oldenburg musicologist has proven this: Anyone who sings for half an hour feels satisfied and balanced afterwards, is happy and less anxious. Some people even sing themselves into a real emotional frenzy and can completely forget their surroundings. Annoying everyday worries can be sung at least two octaves lower.

Nanananaaa - it strengthens the sense of community

There are more than 20,000 choirs in Germany. Whether professional or amateur, singing together makes people feel safe and secure. What happens in the body is similar to the state after sex or the birth of a child. This is because the cuddle hormone oxytocin is released. This creates bonds, deep feelings and cohesion.

Schallalalalaaaaa - it really gets us going

Do you always turn on music when you clean? Sure, because we feel more upbeat to the beat. The same thing happens when we sing: We feel invigorated - even euphoric. We become more optimistic and overcome inhibitions more easily. Good idea: Whether it's "Breathless" or "Country Roads" - it's best to start singing a song in the morning. And the start of the day will be a lot easier.

Tiriliriliii - it also improves our health

Singing not only flatters our psyche and gives us inner drive. It also supports various bodily functions. Its healing powers have long been known - breathing techniques and mantra chanting have been part of yoga teachings for thousands of years. Modern studies also confirm that we breathe better and more consciously when we sing. The lungs fill with more oxygen and we breathe more evenly. Tension is released, we feel less pain and our circulation gets going. Even digestion is stimulated. Singing also creates vibrations in our body that have a deacidifying, detoxifying and purifying effect - increasing our sense of well-being. If you make optimum use of your diaphragm, singing can even be an effective workout for your back muscles.

Dingleling - it gives us a great aura

Let's be honest: haven't we all idolized a musician at some point? Not just because they looked good, but because we just thought it was cool how devotedly they breathed into the microphone. Yes, singing is sexy. Even us. Every second man finds it attractive when women make music. Don't get the wrong idea: If you mess up one note after the next in the DSDS casting, you're not necessarily attractive. But if we dare to sing a groovy oldie in the karaoke bar, we have hearts on our side even with a thin voice. The same applies when we sing a birthday song at the top of our lungs. Just the fun we have gives us a positive aura. Joie de vivre is contagious.
