Episode 31: PODCAST [31] From connection to catharsis: the benefits of singing in a choir, with Sam Chaplin from The Choir With No Name

In this episode, I talk with Sam Chaplin, community choir leader for The Choir With No Name, workshop leader, singer-songwriter, jazz trumpeter, pianist, composer and arranger. We discuss: how community choir leading is ‘caught rather than taught’; the four Cs of connection, confidence, congratulations and the catharsis of ‘singing it out and the song on Sam’s new album inspired by this; the value of peer mentors as part of advocating for the choir; music more central in everyone’s lives.
