About singing for lung health:
Singing together can make a world of difference to those living with breathlessness related to long term respiratory conditions. Breathing techniques used in singing can be used to manage symptoms of breathlessness as a complement to medical management. Singing also offers the opportunity to connect with others going through the same thing, making friends and building community.

The Warblers is a singing group in East Lothian and Midlothian for anyone with a lung condition or who struggles with breathlessness, including those with long covid.
Castle Chorus is Edinburgh's folk and roots community choir and Lauderdale Community Choir is a mixed voiced choir based in Lauder in the Scottish Borders.
