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!
I'm thrilled to find this blog. Your interest in music and health parallels mine in visual art and health -- so much overlap! I'm looking forward to discussions and to telling others about your work.
