“All told, America is home to more than 270,000 choral groups.”
The above YouTube video features a clip from CBS Sunday Morning about the benefits of choral singing.
“According to Chorus America, 78% of chorus members volunteer in their communities, compared to just 50% of the general public. And they donate to charities at 2 1/2 times the rate of the populace as a whole.”
“As for the children who sing in choruses, educators say they earn higher grades and show enhanced social development.”
