Why Music?
Results of a study published in Parkinson’s Disease showed that individuals with Parkinson disease
(PD) achieved improved overall quality of life, and, for some, enhanced posture and gait after receiving regular lessons on how to play basic notes, chords, and simple pieces of music on the guitar.
"Music is a powerful tool that can ease many symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as walking, speech and mood changes."
