Any activity burns calories. But, singing does help burn more calories when you are doing an activity.

If singing while standing, you will burn approx 2 calories per min, less calories burned when seated.

Hardly any considering there really are not that many muscles being exercised.

According to the Activity Calculator at http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php singing while sitting for 3 minutes(assume a song is this long) consumes 7 calories on a body weighted 95kg whereas it burns off 10 calories while singing and standding.

for further detail should you visit the website for more information.

If you weigh 150 lbs, you should be burning around 136 kcal in one hour of standing and participating actively. Standing without singing however would burn only 80 kcal. These amounts however might vary in individuals as the Basal Metabolic Rate is unique for everyone and depends on different factors.

Well it varies, depending upon your weight, a normal 145 pound adult would probably lose about 132 calories per hour. If your a child around 13, you would lose much less than that per hour.

During 20 minutes of singing, a person who weighs 150 lbs. burns about 34 calories if sitting down, or 45 calories if singing while standing up, according to CaloriesPerHour.

depends on how wild you get ;) not many though, its no substitute to sports Addition: Probably worth mentioning that playing the drums is a much more strenuous exercise than playing guitar (as in GHWT). Using a BMR calculator originally developed by the University of Minnesota, I estimated the calories/hour of drumming on GHWT (probably needs to be at least medium) as about 200 cals/hour. Playign guitar on it is at least better than sitting down (obviously you need to be standing to really rock

Do you lose weight playing tennis?

Yes the longer and harder you play the more calories you'll burn. You burn about 15 calories an hour just sitting, so if your running around a court swatting a ball you probably burn somewhere around 600 calories an hour plus it builds up your metabolism which means you'll burn more calories sitting or sleeping. So YES you will lose weight playing tennis.
