group singing
Harmonizing in unison
Group singing is the act of multiple people singing together, whether in organized settings like choirs and congregations or informal ones like campfires and birthday parties.
The term emphasizes collective participation over performance quality: Group singing around the piano was once common entertainment.
Research suggests group singing releases endorphins and fosters social bonding.
