Additional Benefits of Studying Music

In addition to just being awesome, studying singing has lots of benefits.  There are the obvious ones like increased confidence and the willingness to  use your voice more often in the rest of your life, as well as less obvious ones like increasing the communication between and the activity in the two hemispheres of the brain, as well as an increased ability to learn in both visual and auditory ways.  There are links between women who study voice and women who are in leadership positions.  Also, not only the study of it but also just the anticipation of hearing songs, increases the happiness hormones coursing through our systems.

If you don't sing, have you asked yourself why not?!
