Over the past 20 years a significant international research literature on singing and health has developed. Research on singing for health involves researchers from many different disciplines including music psychology, music therapy, health promotion and public health, occupational therapy, and biomedicine.Singing has been shown to contribute to well-being and quality of life and can have a positive impact on the management of long-term conditions, and in reduce depression, anxiety, and stress. There are many singing programmes in the UK targeted at specific health conditions including respiratory problems, Parkinson's, COPD, dementia, stroke, and mental health conditions. Health care professionals are referring patients to singing for health activities as part of the growth of social prescribing.Music practitioners leading singing groups are keen to know more about how singing for health impacts on people and how to use research to improve their practice. Health and social care professionals who commission and refer to singing for health projects want to know more about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of singing for health practice. The need for better communication between researchers, practitioners, health professionals and commissioners, led Emily Foulkes, to set up the 'Singing for Health Network Cornwall.' The interest generated by this local network resulted in the creation of a national on-line 'Singing for Health Network' in June 2020. This is application seeks funding for an academic research network on singing for health. The project will be led from the International Centre for Community Music (ICCM), York St John University. ICCM has an established record of research on diversity in community music and is currently leading an international community music project. Research is ongoing on with women's singing groups in prisons, community singing groups for young people with mental health challenges, older people affected by dementia, and members of LGBTQ+ choirs.The project will be supported by researchers in the singing for health field at the University of Exeter and the Royal College of Music in the UK. UK researchers are at the forefront of research to explore the therapeutic value of singing for mental health and wellbeing, and physical health conditions including Stroke, Parkinson's and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Building a strong singing for health research and practice community is particularly needed at this time when the singing community has been severely affected by the pandemic. There is also interest currently in the idea that group singing could be of therapeutic benefit for people affected by long COVID syndromes. The proposed network will allow researchers to come together to review the evidence basis on singing for health; to support diversity and inclusivity in research; to create guidelines for evidence-informed practice, and to establish consensus on priorities for future, cross-disciplinary research.

在过去的20年里，关于歌唱与健康的重要国际研究文献已经形成。唱歌对健康的研究涉及许多不同学科的研究人员，包括音乐心理学，音乐治疗，健康促进和公共卫生，职业治疗和生物医学。唱歌已被证明有助于幸福和生活质量，可以对长期疾病的管理产生积极影响，并减少抑郁，焦虑和压力。在英国有许多针对特定健康状况的歌唱节目，包括呼吸问题，帕金森氏症，慢性阻塞性肺病，痴呆症，中风和精神健康状况。作为社会处方增长的一部分，医疗保健专业人员正在推荐患者参加健康唱歌活动。领导歌唱团体的音乐从业者热衷于了解更多关于健康唱歌对人们的影响以及如何利用研究来改善他们的实践。卫生和社会保健专业人员谁委托和参考唱歌的健康项目想知道更多关于唱歌的有效性和成本效益的健康做法。研究人员、从业人员、卫生专业人员和专员之间需要更好的沟通，这使得艾米丽福克斯建立了“为健康歌唱网络康沃尔”。“这个地方网络产生的兴趣导致了2020年6月创建了一个全国性的在线'为健康歌唱网络'。这是一个为健康唱歌的学术研究网络寻求资金的申请。该项目将由约克圣约翰大学国际社区音乐中心（ICCM）领导。ICCM在社区音乐多样性研究方面有着良好的记录，目前正在领导一个国际社区音乐项目。目前正在对监狱中的妇女歌唱团体、为有心理健康问题的年轻人、受痴呆症影响的老年人和LGBTQ+合唱团成员举办的社区歌唱团体进行研究。该项目将得到埃克塞特大学和英国皇家音乐学院健康歌唱领域研究人员的支持。英国研究人员处于研究的最前沿，探索唱歌对心理健康和福祉的治疗价值，以及身体健康状况，包括中风，帕金森氏症和慢性阻塞性肺病。在歌唱界受到大流行病严重影响的时候，特别需要建立一个强大的歌唱健康研究和实践社区。目前也有兴趣的想法，集体唱歌可能是治疗效益的人受到长期COVID综合征。拟议中的网络将允许研究人员聚集在一起，审查为健康唱歌的证据基础;支持研究的多样性和包容性;为循证实践制定指导方针，并就未来跨学科研究的优先事项达成共识。
