Testimonials: Parkinson’s Chorus

“Communal musical experiences are proven to provide extraordinary benefits to those with multiple challenges. Participating in such activities that are joyful, rhythmic and familiar increase the ability and opportunity to make needed emotional connections with others.”

--Steven Karidoyanes

“Music brings joy, and joy makes us strong”–Laurie P,   member of Tremble Clefs

“As a person whose mother, her two sisters, her brother, and their mother (my grandmother) all suffered from Parkinson’s disease, I feel a particular connection to your group and your efforts. The power of choral singing to connect and engage people of all ages and backgrounds cannot be overstated. When singing together, we are united in the creative process and the barriers in our lives that prevent us from connecting with one another are overcome. The work of Jewish Family and Children’s Services with the Tremble Clefs is a tremendous opportunity for those living with Parkinson’s disease.”

--John Oliver

There’s many a reason why we come to sing!
Of course, there’s the boost to our voices it brings.
There’s a sense of community, laughter and fun,
Michael’s deep voice and even Ken’s puns.
Nancy’s kind ways make us each feel unique
Diane and the volunteers help us each week
But really it’s Marilyn O’s generous grace
And expert conducting that picks up our pace.
When ivories tickled by Joe start to swing,
Our voices begin to sound fine when we sing!
