| The Parkinson’s Journey and Music’s Role
This special session describes music’s role for Parkinson’s patients, families/caregivers, and the attending staff. In this poignant presentation, Tami shares her personal and professional experiences with this disease—she was a primary caregiver to her dear uncle who had Parkinson’s/dementia; her father also has Parkinson’s. Intertwined with live harp examples, her powerful stories are reflections of the special moments, the sorrows, and the lessons learned during the caregiving journey.
In this workshop, participants:
