Since combined singing and exercise has been clinically proven to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease,* anyone battling "Mr. P" would benefit greatly from joining The Tremble Clefs. This wittily-named, nationwide collection of community singing troupes is comprised of members of the Parkinson's community with a love of music and a desire to integrate recreation into their therapeutic regimen. According to the Tremble Clefs website, "Participation in a Tremble Clefs singing program can help address voice and communications problems through breathing, stretching and posture activities, vocal exercise, rhythm and movement, and a strong social support system." And, of course, it is a great deal of fun. Charleen Flood benefitted greatly from her membership in the San Diego chapter of the Tremble Clefs, as the group enabled her to both express her lifelong passion for music and engage in upper-body exercises and song rhythms--all of which contributed greatly to her health and happiness. If you are a Parkinson's patient, or if you are a family member or caregiver to someone who is, we highly recommend this program for its medical effectiveness and its potential to keep the fires of the spirit burning high and bright.
