Join the Cheyne Gang!
If you have a long term condition that affects your breathing such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), severe asthma orbronchiectasis for example then did you know that singing can have a positive effect on your lung capacity and help you to control your breathing?
The Cheyne Gang is a singing group set up by Practice Nurses based on research that proves the benefits of singing on physical, mental and social health. Our 2 hour sessions are facilitated by a professional voice coach who teaches breathing techniques to help your lung condition and we sing popular songs which you will recognise and which are tailored to your voice and breathing.
Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership is supporting us over the next 6 months with a grant and with this we have been able to move to a more suitable venue.
See our flyer (above) for more details and please feel free to come along to one of our sessions to try it out!
