Mindfulness and Choral Singing
LCU participated in a Study in 2015 for an undergraduate student Julie Lynch’s dissertation in Trinity exploring choral singing and its impact on mindfulness.
It was published in the journal Psychology of Music last week.

A journalist in America wrote an article on it and it’s been shared over 19,000 times to date and as it is much more accessible than the actual research paper, here it is

Julie has passed on her message of thanks to Limerick Choral Union members for our participation in the study.
“Thank you again for all your help and commitment at the time, wouldn’t have been possible without ye. Best wishes, Julie”
