    ![Couple sitting on the couch on a tablet](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/PDHealthAtHome.jpg?itok=6bzDuNbp)  Most people are aware that Parkinson's disease (PD) causes tremors and mobility issues. However, it also affects vocal functioning and mood. People can feel isolated in group settings when others can't hear or understand them due to PD's effects on their voices. Along with this and a combination of other symptoms, having PD can lead to depression and apathy. The "Motivate Through Music!" program is based on a research feasibility study that successfully demonstrated a decrease in apathy and improvement in mood in participants with PD and their family members.

Individuals with PD and their family members or care partners are welcome to attend. Prior musical experience and singing on key are not required!

The program lyrics can be [found here](https://secure3.convio.net/prkorg/site/DocServer/Lyrics_January4_2023.pdf).
