From boosting mood, reducing anxiety, improving posture, and lowering blood pressure. And here’s the great thing - none of these are dependent on our singing ability (or perceived singing ability). Many of us stop singing in adulthood, often for fear of judgment, comparison or ridicule, a belief that is frequently reinforced by programmes such as The X Factor or The Voice.Have a listen to how the experiment James set for us gave Chris &amp; Jim a huge feeling of freedom, connection and happiness.  And give it a go for yourself...
