A collaborative enterprise between the Singing for Health Network, the International Centre for Community Music, and the Royal College of Music, the series brought together musicians, researchers and health professionals from across the globe during Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025. The webinars were chaired by Dr Stephen Clift.

While our understanding of the link between singing and health has grown substantially over the past 20 years, we have more to do to evidence the potential contribution of singing to our health, exploring the mechanisms at play and highlighting effective practice. This gathering of researchers and practitioners was an opportunity for knowledge exchange, future collaboration and a reflection of the current state of knowledge. From here, we can begin to propose strategies for future research and practice as an international community.

​The series ran from November 2024 to April 2025 in four cycles of webinars around the key topics of:
​

• Mental Health & Wellbeing

• Voice Function & Communication

• Cognitive Benefits​

• Breath

We are grateful to our research contributors who are leading international figures in the field. Together, they presented their most recent research and provided a compass for topic discussions, skill sharing and reflection. We shone a light, too, on the role of the practitioner, together with the participant's voice. This unique series provided an opportunity for both the theoretical and practical to learn and inform one another’s practice.
