Singing is an excellent exercise that stimulates talents, and the existence of a choir in schools at all levels of education, in society/associations or in the church encourages the development of knowledge and well-being.All the respondents mentioned that they enjoy singing and that choral music plays a very important role, not only in terms of learning, but also in terms of recreational activities, because it is a unique way of captivating and motivating. The conductors of the choirs studied should promote a democratic choice of repertoire, probably adapting the suggestions of the choristers, but not neglecting the musical and aesthetic development intended for the choir. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the directors of the various choirs who contributed to this research, as they are certainly excellent choral directors who promote a love of choral music in their choristers.
