The Combined Neurological Choir meets every Tuesday during the school term from 10.30 am till noon at the Dementia Waikato Rooms 8 Keddell Street in Frankton entry via the back of the building from the Kent Street Car park.
Sessions are for people with Parkinson’s, Stroke, or other Neurological conditions affecting communication & speech. A fun and exciting therapy group: Research shows compelling evidence that singing helps voice and breathing in people with Parkinson’s & may help to re-wire the brain after injury, assisting with aphasia. The sessions include a series of voice/facial/breathing exercises followed by a repertoire of familiar songs. Singing is a culturally universal pastime that unites people and produces a sense of belonging. No experience or skills required. It’s not how we sound – it’s about making a sound.
Coffee & Tea will be provided & the cost per session is $3 per person or $5 per couple to assist with costs.
If you are interested in attending this group, please contact the co-ordinator below, who will put you on the contact list so you get the information flyer each month.
