MUSIC LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

Event Notes:

The WPC 2026 Music Leadership Workshop is open to all interested in learning how music is beneficial to people with Parkinson’s, whether through physical exercise, singing, drumming, playing an instrument – Music and rhythm can ease many symptoms of Parkinson’s, such as walking, speech and mood changes.

The three areas that music helps are motor; speech and voice; and thought and behavior symptoms. Music has cognitive, psychosocial, behavioral, and motor benefits. This new workshop is coming to the WPC for the first time and will be an extraordinary way to connect with other leaders in this space and learn new tools and data to take home with you for use in your work with the Parkinson’s community.
