Feel The Rhythm is a music therapy class designed to address the strengths and needs of aging adults in the valley, with emphasis on decreasing falls and maintaining independence. Participants do not need any prior musical experience to benefit from music therapy. This
class is highly beneficial for those with movement disorders, including Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington’s Disease, other neurological impairments, and those who are prone to falls. Contact Deborah Palmer with Questions.
