Drumming has been shown to have benefits for the mind and the body. This 6-week drumming series for People with Parkinson’s and their Care Partners guides participants through basic hand drumming techniques, teaches chants from around the world, and allows participants to experience active music making through drumming and improvisation with the goals of decreasing stress, increasing quality of life, and improving overall wellness. 

Music therapy, an engaging, interactive, goal-focused and fun therapy, has been shown to be an effective tool in improving cognitive, speech, motor, and social skills as well as increasing quality of life for People with Parkinson’s and their Care Partners. At MusicWorx, we offer several music therapy programs for People with Parkinson’s and their Care Partners to meet varying needs and abilities. On top of the many group programs that MusicWorx offers, there are also opportunities to take private harmonica, piano, vocal, guitar, and ukulele lessons that are adapted based on individual learning style, ability, and need.
