I don't think any teacher of music would disagree with the statement that no matter which instrument you play, singing what you play, or at least its melody, is beneficial. It bypasses thinking, analyzing, and technical considerations, and puts you right at the point of creativity.
I have been finding that if I can take a snapshot of how I feel when singing emotively--feeling the rhythm and character in my body (so much that it makes me dance)--I can apply that feeling of singing to my playing, to great effect. It's just a matter of getting really into the music I'm working on, singing the melody, paying attention to how it feels to really sing, and then "sing" through the instrument. It works wonders!
