Bach’s Lunch Zoom Lecture: 10 Reasons Why You Should Be Singing

May 4, 2023 @ 12:10 pm - 12:50 pm

Free

On Thursday, May 4, Beth Armstrong will present a zoom lecture, Ten Reasons Why You Should Be Singing. As a life-long choral singer, Beth can attest to its benefits on an anecdotal level. However, there has been a great deal of research done on the physical benefits of singing in a group. She will touch on some of this evidence, encouraging one and all, regardless of training, education, or “talent,” to raise their voice with others in song.

About the Speaker
Beth Armstrong has been a choral singer, conductor, voice and piano teacher, and coach for forty years. In New Hampshire, she was the music director at the Unitarian Church of Concord for sixteen years, a public-school music educator for thirteen years, the director of the Suncook Valley Chorale for five years, and founding member of femme m’amie, a seven-woman a cappella group, for whom she wrote original music and arrangements. At CCMS, she directed the Men’s Chorus and a Teen Chorus, and a senior citizen’s chorus at Havenwood.
Moving to Rhode Island in 2000, Beth has been the director the Greater Tiverton Community Chorus for twenty years and of the Chorus of East Providence for seventeen years. She is currently serving as interim music director at First Unitarian Church of Providence. She maintained an active piano and voice studio for thirty years, and has worked with children as young as pre-school, and seniors in their 80s, and everything in between.
