🎵 Finding Their Voice: A New Choir Group for Lavender!
A new beat is sounding through Macquarie Hospital with the launch of the Lavender Choir Group, led by Speech Pathologist Elza and Music Therapist Saenuri. Designed for consumers with dysarthria or those at risk of parkinsonism, the group blends evidence ‑ based vocal exercises like abdominal breathing, prolonged vowels, and pitch glides—with the joy of singing
Inspired by the ParkinSong program, each session supports clearer, stronger voices while keeping things fun and uplifting. With a regular group of four to five participants, the choir sings classics from the ’60s to ’80s across pop, rock, folk, and blues—often lighting up when Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan makes an appearance on the playlist!
Most of all, participants come for the connection, confidence, and shared love of music. It’s a warm, supportive space where voices and community grow stronger each week.
