I would love, love, love to go to something like this in my area. I joined a Circlesinging group here, but it’s not for people with PD, so I’m struggling sometimes to fit in (my voice cracks and goes off-key, so it’s a bit embarrassing). I’m not someone who would start something like this locally, but I’d be a participant. Is there a way to get someone (else) to start a group like this for us in our individual areas?

hi jo
did you check out johns website for this info: https://www.trembleclefs.com/start-a-chorus.html

I saw that, Jean — thanks. I don’t want to be the one to start a group (that’s not my thing), and I don’t know anyone who would be willing to take this on. I’d like to participate in the group as a singer, I just don’t want to start it. 🙂

i hear you, a whole other element of stress you dont need. a local hospital near where i live has a huge program for people with pd; Sing out Loud, boxing, yoga, tai chi. i am lucky in that i can avail myself of these options
-
WOW! You really ARE lucky! I wish there was something like that near me as well.

yes, it is great, helps compensate for the fact we have no MDS out here on north east fork of Long sland

Exciting news! Tremble Clefs® San Diego will soon be posting some of its professional therapeutic singing vocal warm-up exercises on our SoundCloud channel at https://soundcloud.com/user-865306799. This is absolutely free and will allow you to develop a daily voice practice at home. We understand that not everyone is able to attend a therapeutic singing session because of location, or limitations. We hope this will make available some of the benefits of our singing program to the Parkinson’s community and their care partners. Come sing with us!

More exciting news from Tremble Clefs San Diego! Our vocal exercises for people living with Parkinson’s are now uploaded at Soundcloud for your free use and practice.
https://soundcloud.com/user-865306799
These exercises are used at our weekly 2-hour sessions, prior to singing popular songs. It’s a great way to warm up the voice, power up our breathing and practice our annunciation and speaking voices.
Check out all the exercises. Some are easier than others. Challenge yourself and see what you think. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your support.
