Fun singing Facts #6

Singing has been known to relieve stress and anxiety issues by releasing endorphin and oxytocin, two hormones that directly impact your level of happiness. So, there's seriously no shame in singing no matter where you are, be it the shower, at home, in public sometimes. There are places where one should definitely not sing for the fact of being considerate of others, like a funeral (unless it was planned), during a moment of silence, and not near a snowy mountain that is very sensitive to loud noises that would result in an unfortunate avalanche. But, making oneself happy is very essential, and singing is absolutely free and accessible to anybody.


Cool fact, is that when two or more people begin to harmonize with each other, their heart beats become in sync.

Their heart's rhythm is actually guided by the song, in terms of when to breathe, how quick the song is, and what the volume of the song is. All these factors determine a group's rhythm of heart beating. So, it's a pretty cool thought that if you ever sang in a choir, that the conductor of the group was actually controlling the speed of multiple hearts.

Overall, singing can be very therapeutic whether it be alone, in groups, or even controlled by someone with a wand in their hand.

  1. I had no idea that harmonizing caused hearts to beat in sync. Would you happen to know if that fact still holds true for people with Tachycardia?
