Announcing a new study which explores partcipation in choirs and singing groups.
This is a new research project from Canterbury Christ Church University in the UK. The study asks why people sing in choirs and what the experience of singing has been during the Covid-19 pandemic. If you have not held rehearsals during this period we ask what aspects of singing your members have missed and if you have held rehearsals online, we would also like to know about this experience. We are inviting all kinds of choirs and singing groups around the world to join us in sharing the study with members so that we can represent the experience of participants in a wide range of cultures and contexts.
The responses will help us to develop an understanding of the most important aspects of these activities for those involved. This knowledge can be used to enhance existing approaches to singing in groups as well as providing a sense of the range of activities involved in ths field.
To participate in the study, choir members will need to complete an online survey. The survey should take no longer than 12 minutes to complete and all responses are anonymous. We would be really grateful if you could support the study by sharing this survey link with your members: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/QBQLWVS
