Why Join Chorus Columbus State?
Singing Matters!
According to studies from UC Berkeley, singing has many
benefits.
Singing helps asthma or bronchitis sufferers because of the
deep breathing. Singing boosts the immune system by increasing antibody
levels. Singing with a choir builds self-confidence through group
interaction.
