Can singing provide healing?
I am Barbara, and have been singing all of my life. I have also had the very good fortune of being a very healthy person. However, as a professional singer and a professor of voice in higher education, I realize that the general public may have varying degrees of wellness and occasional illnesses
whether they sing or not.
However, for those who might have a specific health issue such as a natural pregnancy
or a more unfortunate traumatic injury,
would making a practice of singing help them either back to health more quickly, or help them manage their physical discomforts? In this blog I hope to find out what others might have to share about how they have experienced singing in their healing.
Brahms Lieder with John Wustman at the piano is a performance from 2007. It is a good indication of where I was with my own song involvement before I started this blog.
You'll find it as the first posting in the blog. I hope you enjoy it!
I look forward to hearing from any and all of you who happen by this blog!
