AND HERES THE SCIENCE BIT!
Studies exploring music and physiology have found that singing can dramatically increase levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), a frontline immune antibody that protects the body’s airways and digestive tract. This antibody plays a crucial role in neutralizing pathogens before they enter deeper tissues.

The research shows that singing triggers a stronger immune response than simply listening to music or resting. Scientists believe this is because singing combines emotional expression, controlled breathing, and physical resonance, all of which influence immune-regulating hormones.

One key factor is stress reduction. When people sing, cortisol levels often drop, allowing immune function to rebound. Stress is known to suppress SIgA, so lowering it naturally boosts the body’s first line of defense.

Singing also activates the vagus nerve, which is essential for calming the nervous system and maintaining balance between stress and recovery states. A more regulated vagus response has been linked to stronger immunity and better overall health.

Researchers are now studying whether singing in groups—such as choirs—amplifies these benefits even further, thanks to synchronized breathing and emotional connection. Early findings suggest group singing may enhance both mood and immune resilience.
