It's Not Just Singing!
Led by Paula Wolfson
It's Not Just Singing!
It’s vocal exercise designed specifically to address effects that Parkinson’s Disease may on the voice and swallowing muscles.
It’s camaraderie with a wonderful group of people who want to exercise, improve, or maintain their voices. We are NOT a choir. We just like singing and having a laugh and a break from the day-to-day.
It’s a well-established programme of 11 years
Led by Paula Wolfson
Paula is an award-winning veteran of the professional Canadian stage and a Royal Conservatory of Music Certified Artist Educator.
She’s been singing since the day she was born and she wants nothing more than to help you find the magic of expression and release in singing.
