Join our 2021 Community Grantee, Perfect Harmony Health, for a fun, collaborative program called Singing with Parkinson's!
Research in both music therapy and neuroscience has shown that singing can improve Parkinson's symptoms. Neurologic Music Therapists design our Parkinson's Choir to address limitations and struggles that occur with PD. It’s reported that participation in singing activities and music with a strong rhythm, has improved their gait, breath support, mood, motor control, and ability to perform consecutive tasks. Individuals at any stage of the disease are welcome and can benefit. Prior musical experience is not required but is a plus!
