Sing by Rosie Dow
'He who sings frightens away his ills.' Miguel De Cervantes It’s official: singing is good for you. Singing delivers a host of physical and emotional benefits including lower heart pressure, increased aerobic exercise, improved breathing, posture, mindset, confidence and self-esteem. Whether you do it alone or in a choir, singing will help you find the rhythm in your life. Sing examines the culture and history of singing, why we sing, the mechanics of sound, what it is to sing, how to take control of your voice and get creative. The book also tackles how to exercise your inner instrument and overcome your fear of singing. Drawing on singing teacher Rosie Dow’s extensive work and experience in singing, this book offers expert guidance and practical exercises to cultivate emotional and physical wellbeing. Crucially, anyone can do it – you just need to find your voice!
Rosie Dow is an experienced singer, choir leader and community musician, who has based her career on helping people discover the joy of singing. Her teaching focuses on fun and empowerment through singing, by using accessible breathing, vocal and confidence-building exercises to help people find their voice. As well as leading choirs directly, Rosie has worked with large networks of singing groups for people affected by cancer and women in the military community, using singing as a way to offer support, fulfilment and friendship to people and communities facing challenges. Rosie has also worked with various prestigious universities to publish research on the social, biological and mental health benefits of singing, culminating in her completing an MA in Community Arts and Anthropology in 2018.
