Though we say it ourselves, 2019 was amazing for SingWest. So, without wanting to sound immodest, here are the top ten coolest things that happened last year:

1. Our numbers have grown in our first location, Hammersmith, to almost a hundred, and continue to increase - completely amazing.
2. In separate but strongly linked news, our local landlord Mick - owner of the Cross Keys pub across the road - reports his Monday night takings have more than doubled since SingWest launched.
3. We opened in Barnes where we now have 45 regular passionate, talented and beautiful members, who meet every Wednesday at 7.30pm. No report yet into takings at The Sun Inn, but their revenue is sure to have increased.
4. Still with Barnes, their Christmas carol concert was a complete triumph at the Barnes Christmas Festival.
5. Tom, Chris, Nick and Tim appeared on Good Morning Britain in December, wearing hideous Christmas jumpers and nailing their performance, despite being horribly hungover and completely unrehearsed.
6. We recorded a charity single for the homeless charity Shelter at the English National Opera, which was a truly unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
7. We produced loads of brilliant children’s workshops at various events, including the completely fantastic Oppidan Educational Camp. We’ll be working with them again in 2020.
8. We put on an amazing 'Greatest Showman' workshop at Wilderness Festival, in collaboration with our friends Storystock.
9. The choirs performed numerous times over Christmas, including a fantastic carol service at St Marys Abbots Church in Kensington for the brilliant Tommy’s charity. As their founder and patron Marina Fogle said at the time: ‘Your passion, energy and clear love of music was evident. Your voices rung through the whole church and lifted the spirits of all those attending.  I’ve been overwhelmed at the extraordinary feedback from our guests who loved every minute’. 
10. The time, energy and dedication that all our members have shown throughout the year has been completely amazing and we’re hugely appreciative of that. We hope you enjoyed the year as much as we did.

The SingWest workshops are one-off, 90 minute long group singing sessions that will give your team an opportunity to try something completely new together. Our sessions are fun and lighthearted but also challenging and rewarding - encouraging everyone to work together and listen to each other.

There are numerous benefits of singing as the team at SingWest are lucky enough to see at our choirs every week.

There’s a lot of science behind why singing makes us feel so good. When we sing our bodies release endorphins and oxytocin (a hormone which alleviates stress and enhances feelings of trust and bonding). Singing taps into the lesser used right side of the brain which encourages creative thinking. We also begin to breath together, move together and eventually our heart rates sync up. This all helps to boost confidence and strengthen relationships.

The music, the activity and the combined sound is amazing for creating a unique feeling in a team - a fantastic buzz that comes from harmonising with the people around you. You absolutely don’t need to be a good singer to enjoy the session and get a huge benefit from it.

“Singing is like an infusion of the perfect tranquilizer, the kind that both soothes your nerves and elevates your spirits” - Time Magazine.
