Breathing Space Singing: Singing for Breathing

Breath Space Singing helps people make the most of their lung capacity and learn good breathing habits through singing.

Breathing Space Singing is following in the footsteps of the ground-breaking ‘Singing for Breathing’ programme pioneered by the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals and draws on research carried out by Sidney de Haan Arts for Health Institute at the University of Kent (Canterbury). After an initial pilot in March 2015 the group was supported for 3 months by the British Lung Foundation ‘Singing for Lung Health’ training programme.

Lockdown Zoom Sessions

Since March 2020 we have been holding weekly zoom sessions from 4.30 - 5.30 on Friday afternoons during term time. We have great fun going through our breathing exercises and vocal warm ups before learning and singing a wide variety of songs. If you are interested in joining us through the lockdown please email one of the volunteers and they will help you to log into the zoom session.
