Sing into Joy makes no medical claims and does not provide medical advice. But Danielle's more than three decades of professional singing and teaching, supported by numerous scientific studies, validate this idea. This holistic approach includes:
- Better posture and alignment
- Relaxation and tension release — and knowing how to do this for yourself at home
- Deeper, freer breathing, supporting the voice without strain and enhancing immune function
- Improved attention and memory, through learning new skills and repertoire
- Happier mood. Studies indicate that singing for just 10 minutes a day can make a measurable difference
- Clearer enunciation and greater confidence, for ALL our opportunities to communicate with each other, including business and social situations — and from behind those speech-blurring masks
- "Good vibrations" — literally. Our sound travels through all our cells and out into the space and people around us. As we become more harmonious, so does our world.
Though singing in groups will make a slow return from our current pandemic isolation, we can always sing on our own, develop our vocal and musical abilities, improve our mood — and safely, happily join others online. Those who miss singing can continue to have support and guidance. Those who've felt embarrassed or shamed to sing in the past can experiment and grow in a safe space with an expert mentor.
Also:
- For businesspeople at every level, clear, confident communication of ideas and strategies is essential in the current online work environment, and the unsettled job market.
- For those who speak for a living — actors, teachers, leaders in the for-profit and non-profit sectors— the tools of good singing can ameliorate vocal fatigue and improve spoken-voice quality.
- For those dedicated to healthy self-care, personal growth and creative self-expression, Sing into Joy is an avenue to develop other facets.
- For those feeling isolated, missing community and direct contact with the arts, Sing into Joy is a link back to connection.
Sing into Joy is continuing to develop this mutil-faceted resource daily, not just through personalized instruction but also regular blogs and tips, audio and video files, a YouTube channel (coming soon!) and social media posts.
