Following on from the great success of the Edinburgh Lecture on 28th September, the importance of exercise and movement is very evident. We are extremely keen to support this new project, that aims to evaluate the potential benefits of music and movement interventions.
The Wellbeing Unit and the Arts Team of St Columba’s Hospice Care are seeking participants for the project and are urgently looking for people with Parkinson’s, and their carers to volunteer to take part.
These sessions follow the Dalcroze Eurythmics approach to music and movement, which includes listening and responding to live music.
Monica Wilkinson will be the music practitioner delivering the sessions. She gave us a wonderful taster session at our Branch Get-Together on 14th September. Monica completed her training at Institute Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva and is an experienced music teacher.
When? The first session is on Monday 3rd October from 11:00-12:00 (for six weeks)
Where? The Wellbeing Unit of St Columba’s Hospice Care (15 Boswall Road, Edinburgh EH5 3RW).
Why? Music and movement activities can strengthen movement coordination, promote confidence and prevent falls.
