You're going to want to listen to this podcast episode whether or not you have or know someone with Parkinson's. We sit down with Darlene and Karen Skipper. Theirs is an inspirational story of positivity overcoming challenges (like Parkinson's).
Darlene describes what Music Therapy has done for her - and it's a lot more than you'd think. She explains how it changed the way she has been able to manage her Parkinson's and how much it means to her.
Karen, works with Tremble Clefs Orange County, explains how Music Therapy is different from Speech Therapy. She describes her passion for this method of helping people with Parkinson's and how Tremble Clefs does so much more than just helping people with the physical symptoms of Parkinson's.
