Leicestershire Parkinson’s Choir
Are you affected by Parkinson’s? Why not join our choir?
Leicestershire Parkinson’s Choir welcomes all people living with Parkinson’s, your family, carers and friends. You can join at any time. Singing not only boosts mood, it helps with breathing, posture and helps keep pathways open in the brain for speech.
“All my cares and worries just fly away. When a song comes together and all the sections are in harmony there is nothing quite like it. It is pure joy.” “I am a carer, and it has given me a time to enjoy music and be with people who all enjoy singing together.” “The choir to me means being able to sing, help my Parkinson’s voice and meet lovely people.”
Join us and see for yourself.
Janet Edwards, Choir Accompanist:
A lot of the enjoyment is not only seeing people I now count as friends, but also the skills and knowledge of our leader, Jane. I’m continually amazed at the variety of genres: Songs from the shows, pop world, folk, and gospel and of course, not forgetting Christmas. All this music has been found, arranged and visioned by Jane. All I do is play it!
We are a happy, friendly group, with tea and biscuits too!
No singing experience is necessary – just come along and sing!
