Weekly sessions to have a singsong with like-minded people.
‘I can’t sing’ you might say, but you don’t
have to be a good singer to join the
Singing 4 Breathing group; just come
along, have fun and sing all types of songs
together. Although designed primarily
for those with respiratory conditions,
anyone who wants to enjoy the singing
and support the group will be made very
welcome.
The award-winning Singing 4 Breathing
group was set up in 2015 by James Wyatt,
an Occupational Therapist, who was
studying the benefi ts of singing for people
with respiratory conditions including
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD), asthma and bronchiectasis.
Soon after starting, James teamed up
with Chris Startup, an amazing local
musician who facilitates the group. Chris
has a lot of experience, having been
trained by the British Lung Foundation
and he incorporates breathing exercises
and singing into each session.
Research evidence has proven that
singing can benefi t people with COPD by
working the diaphragmatic muscles and
therefore helping to improve lung function.
Singing is also a fun way to practice deep
breathing and a great way for people to
come together to share their experience
and gain support.
Singing in a group such as Singing 4
Breathing not only improves someone’s
physical well-being but it can also have
psychological and social benefi ts. Meeting
together and singing with like-minded
people is great fun and many members
say that the group is the highlight of their
week!
