| Abstract | Objective To explore the ways in which participation in a community singing group contributed to the health and well-being of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Design Qualitative description, based on transcripts from individual interviews and a focus group meeting with people with COPD participating in the singing group, regarding their experience. Setting Urban community, Wellington, New Zealand. Participants 23 people (13 women and 10 men), 51-91-years with COPD (21) or interstitial lung disease (2). Results The weekly singing group was a well-attended activity, with self-reported benefits to health and well-being. 4 key themes were identified: being in the right space, connection, purpose and growth, and participation in a meaningful physical activity.

Sing Your Lungs Out: A qualitative study of a community singing group for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. Design: Qualitative description based on transcripts from individual interviews and a focus group meeting with people with COPD participating in the singing group regarding their experience. For both the interviews and the focus group we used open-ended questions guided by three topics of interest: the participants experiences of participation in the singing group what perceived effects or conse- quence if any had occurred for the participants as a result of being in the group and how the singing group was similar to or different from other community support groups or singing groups they had been involved in. Another element of being in the right space was the sense of being cared for. DISCUSSION The ndings of this study show that the singing group was a positive and popular experience for all partici- pants conrmed by remarkably high attendance rates at -year.
