Do you find joy through singing? It’s feel-good fun — and researchers find amateur warblers often get a cheerful well-being charge from belting out a tune. If you’d like to try crooning to elevate your mood, here’s how to get started:

• Ask friends. A singing group might be closer than you think. Your place of worship or local schools may already have a choir. Watch for sing-a-longs staged with musicals, caroling, or local theater.

• Branch out. Look for a choral group. Try a cappella, gospel, Broadway-style, or ukulele-accompanied singing. Taking a few lessons is another way to join the vocal community.

• Hit the town. Using online sites such as Meetup.com, find others who share your interests. You could also grab some pals and head to karaoke. The less brave can download karaoke tracks and host a musical night at home.
