The study of music and the brain has provided some incredible and life changing knowledge and understandings. Here is a video which points out how the use of pulse, beat and rhythm can enhance the significant issues of movement when someone has Parkinson’s disease.

Not only does it help overcome the freeze reaction, the inability to initiate a movement, which those with Parkinson’s suffer from, but it also greatly improves their levels of happiness and wellbeing. This video has some fantastic demonstrations of the types of activities the Sing to Beat Parkinson’s program uses, as well as easy to understand explanations about how beat and rhythm impact on the brain of people living with Parkinson’s.
