Virtual Group Music Therapy Sessions
“Motivate Through Music!” is a research based program designed to help people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) improve their mood, regain interests and connect with others. Using Neurological Music Therapy techniques to improve or maintain skills that may have been affected by PD, our program includes rhythmic warm-ups, therapeutic instrument playing, vocal exercises, singing and connecting with others who have Parkinson’s and caregivers. Previous musical experience and singing on key are NOT required! Sessions are led by Board-Certified and Neurologic Music Therapist, Linda Jedrzejek, in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. Currently sessions are remote, however; if there is enough interest in attending in person and Covid-19 restrictions permit, sessions will transition to hybrid. This program is offered free to participants thanks to a community grant from The Parkinson’s Foundation.

Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Research has demonstrated that music therapy techniques can be used to improve and/or maintain vocal qualities, gait disorder, improve mood and decrease tremors. Nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) including depression, anxiety, apathy, and sleep disturbances have a greater impact on health-related quality of life than motor symptoms. Apathy, or a lack of motivation to perform goal-oriented behaviors, is reported in 40% of people with PD. Apathy in PD is associated with more severe disability, greater levels of caregiver burden, and independently predicts poorer quality of life. (Shah, D. Z., 2022)
