The Singing for Health Research Project (SHRP) was a collaborative enterprise between the Singing for Health Network, the International Centre for Community Music, and the Royal College of Music, which brought together musicians, researchers and health professionals from across the globe.

 

While our understanding of the link between singing and health has grown substantially over the past 20 years, we have much more to do to evidence the potential contribution of singing to our health. These events offered the opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and look toward future collaborations:

​​

  1. Webinar series running from November 2024 to March 2025

  2. Symposium at the Royal College of Music in April 2025

​​​​​​​​​

The project addressed the following questions:​​​

 

  • What is the current state of knowledge on the relationships between singing and health and wellbeing?

  • What theoretical perspectives help to understand how singing impacts health?

  • What are the priorities for future research in the field?

  • What guidance does research evidence provide to musicians and health professionals in the effective and cost-effective delivery of singing for health opportunities in communities and the NHS?​​​
