Passcode: Parkinsong

We still have places – new members are always welcome, either online via Zoom, or in person.

Joining Parkinsong Voices helps you develop breath support for better vocal projection and less strain, use facial muscles to help you learn to breathe deeply, bring about more expression, and make new connections with other members of the branch.*

Motivation by Music release occasional special songs recorded by Parkinson Voices and their other choirs, featuring them on You Tube to fundraise for the Branch and other good causes.

The cost of participation is minimal as the Branch subsidises all who take part.

Members who join the choir pay the Branch directly to participate. These payments are in advance for each choir term (usually 9 weeks).
