ABOUT PLAYLIST FOR PARKINSON’S
Music can help improve the quality of life of people living with Parkinson’s, not only through the beauty of the melodies and the meaning of the words, but also because it has organisational and motivational properties that help improve mood and manage movements.
Playlist for Parkinson’s is a way of sharing our research results about how, why and when people with Parkinson’s use music in their everyday lives. The concert programme, based on musical narratives of people with Parkinson’s, will include three people with Parkinson’s who have special stories about how music helps them.
As explained by Alison (research participant):
‘There is something about music that makes me move more easily and naturally, and lifts my mood, and whatever that something is, I would like some more of please! After all, music is non-invasive, non-addictive, freely available and doesn’t wear off with repeated use or have the unwanted side effects of the Parkinson’s drugs that we take every day.’
