Sažetak
Despite current occurrences in society, which systematically influence the decrease of leisure time among all social groups, choral singing has maintained its vast, rich tradition and secured its place as the most popular leisure time activity. Through choral singing, individuals successfully find ways to satisfy their need for activity, socialization, music, and musical creativity as well as to additionally affirm their position in society. By exploring previous research, the relationship between musical activities and wellbeing of individuals is emphasized. We point out to the connection between positive emotions and singing in a choir, which is evident from the change of the singer’s physiological status, the development of musical skills and the improvement of the singer’s psychophysical condition. Based on the experience of previously conducted international research, this research has been conducted to determine the relationship between choral singing activities and the wellbeing of amateur singers. The research examined the length of singing experience, life satisfaction, the contribution of singing to the subjective sense of well-being, and the perceived assessment of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. The results of the conducted study affirm numerous personal improvements of singers due to singing in a choir. The benefit of choral singing, apart from it having a primary artistic function, is that it contributes to emotional, societal, and physical wellbeing as an essential goal of leisure time activities and life in general.
