Sing To Beat Parkinson’s Fundraiser

Friday 21st May 2021

Sing to Beat Parkinson’s is a network of groups that provide sessions of singing and movement exercises, aimed at improving well-being for those living with Parkinson’s Disease.

Yesterday, Voice Workshop hosted a short course that helped to raise funds for a new Sing to Beat Parkinson’s group, based in Northern Ireland.

The short course was hosted by Nicola Wydenbach, Director of Training at Sing to Beat Parkinson’s, and covered a range of voice exercises that are used by practitioners.

Thank you to those that attended!
