About us..
Meet Debra Skeen from Music for the Brain.
Music for the Brain demonstrates the health and wellbeing benefits of singing and releases the feel-good hormones endorphins and oxytocin. One study found that singing can relieve stress and boost the immune system. Another report concluded that it helped those who join in singing to cope with chronic pain. In the main, the singing sessions combine useful tools for breathing and posture whilst enabling those involved to improve mood and confidence.
