Voice Aerobics®: Whole-Body Approach to Voice Practice

Voice Aerobics® is a 50-minute class which couples voice practice with movement. It was developed as a 3-part program with focus on Posture, Breathing, and Voice. During each session of this 5-week series, Mary will focus on different aspects of speech production and interject some swallowing exercises. Time will be available at the conclusion of each class to respond to questions regarding motor speech and swallowing symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. This class is appropriate for anyone with Parkinson’s or related diagnosis, and all exercises can be done seated.
