Eli5: Why do a group of bad to average singers sound much better when singing together?
In: Other
In big groups, the sound all blends together into a more cohesive sound to our brain.. and the worst singers in the group are often drowned out, unless they are significantly louder.
Your brain wants to find the correct melody, so I think it automatically focuses in on the better singers.
Also: the worse singers can follow the better ones, and it gets them more in line with where they should be. When bad singers can sing along with the radio or another competent singer, they do better.
people perform better in a group when it comes to biking, running, lifting, lots of other activities. Peer pressure, the group pushes them to be better.
I was in high school choir, and some of the other guys in the group were absolutely tone deaf.. but the teacher worked with what she had.
