The CBR Choir is a social singing group for people with
neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s disease.
Led by music therapist Alison Talmage, warm-ups
include voice and breathing exercises to help maintenance of vocal function. Research
is showing that singing may also help to ‘rewire’ the brain after brain injury,
and so could help with conditions like aphasia. We sing a wide variety of well-known
songs so you’re sure to know some. Whatever your condition, we aim to enjoy singing
and have some fun!
