WORLD SINGING DAY

(Last Updated On: May 13, 2022)

Every year on the third Saturday in October, World Singing Day encourages people around the globe to sing. The goal of the day is to host a world-wide sing-along that fosters unity and harmony through a common experience.

According to research, singing with others forms a strong connection. Along with harmonizing voices, singing together synchronizes heartbeats. When done in groups, singing also helps to break the ice. Because of this, social bonds are formed more quickly.

Other benefits of singing include:

Strengthens the immune system
Gives the lungs a good workout
Helps improve posture
Strengthens the throat and palate, which can reduce snoring
Releases endorphins and works as a natural anti-depressant
Lowers stress levels
Boosts confidence levels
Broadens communication skills

With so many benefits of singing, why not warm up your vocal cords and sing all your favorite songs! Better yet, grab a friend or a whole group of friends, and sing together. And don’t worry about hitting every note perfectly, just have fun and sing!
