Singing for Parkinson's
The Plumstead Centre, Greenwich
Alternate Fridays
Event details
This friendly choir is designed to improve the voice and help manage some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s whilst taking part in a fun and social activity.
Led by a trained Singing for Parkinson’s practitioner, a typical session will begin with a vocal and physical warm up to practice breathing techniques before learning and singing some well-known songs. Tea and coffee will be provided and either a speech and language or physical Occupational Therapist will attend every session to answer questions.
The group welcomes all levels of capability and mobility and no previous experience of singing is required

Payment
Trinity Laban operates a Pay What You Can system for all our creative health programmes. This means that you can pay what you can afford for each term using a tiered payment system which we hope will ensure that the class remains accessible to all participants. Please also note that carers go free to all Trinity Laban classes.
A suggested contribution of £3.50 – £5 per class helps support programme costs that are not otherwise covered by external funding. If this amount is not feasible, you are still welcome to attend with no explanation or discussion required.
Suggested Class Fees:
Reduced Class Fee £3.50 per class (£35 per term)
Full Class Fee £5.00 per class (£50 per term)
Pay it forwards: Contribute to the cost of another participant attending £7.00 per class (£70 per term)
The payment system is via the Trinity Laban shop, details will be sent once registered.
