Benefits of Group Singing- It's Good for You in Every Way

I have a bit of a collection of articles about singing. It's so good to see my feelings validated like this.

You don't have to be in a choir and you don't have to be a "good" singer. Just sing with others, together, and you get most of these benefits. And, even singing by yourself is good for you. Humming is good, listening to music is good, and even remembering a song in your head is good.

At Trinity, we have lots of ways we can sing together. On Sunday mornings, there's always a lot of singing, starting at 9:30 with Choir rehearsal, and then all through the church service, in the choir or in the pews. On Tuesday mornings, there's Praise Team. On Thursday evenings, we have Sing-along Café. I'm thinking about daytime Sing-along Cafés. We need more singing.

Singing Together in July and August

I posted this on my YRCC blog, and I think it applies to my Trinity Singers too. While we’re not singing together in July and August, please find opportunities to sing in other places and with other people. You can always sing in your car and in your kitchen. You can accept all invitations to cottages, camping, and beach days, and do some campfire singing. Or, sing while you paddle around in a lake. Sound carries over water, so have some buddies join you if you’re not comfortable with a solo performance. Orchestrate some backyard sing-alongs if you can. Singing outdoors in the summer is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. I’ve enjoyed the free concerts in Aurora and Newmarket in the past. They have ‘tribute bands’ who perform all the hits you know, and you’ll want to sing and dance along. (would be nice if they projected the lyrics for us, because we're used to having those words now) I’ve added these concerts to my YRCC Calendar to encourage my choristers to go. I’...

June 5th, 2025 Sing-along Café is Outdoors!

We're going to be outside, singing along with a cover band, Telltale Sounds, at the 2025 Newmarket Music Series Lineup Launch Party! Then, we'll sing and dance to Glenn Marais and the Mojo Train! I think we'll want to bring lawn chairs, and maybe a snack and a beverage. There will be a food truck there if you want to get something fun. We are asked to bring a Food Bank Donation. We'll head down together on foot from the Park Street entrance at 6:15. Hopefully that will be early enough to get parking behind the church and get a spot to sit at Riverwalk Commons. We'll walk across Main Street, down the stairs to the parking lot, and across towards the community centre, unless some of us have issues with stairs, then we'll go down the ramp at the next block that ends up just behind the community centre. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather (should be perfect, not too warm, not too cool). I'm a big fan of these free summer concerts. Can't wait...
