Leeds Waterfront Festival - I really enjoyed listening to this choir, Giving Voice, made up of adults with neurological conditions and their carers. The choir was started by Wendy Neill, a speech and language therapist. Apparently singing is very helpful for some people with speech, swallowing and breathing difficulties, as well as being a wonderful social activity and confidence booster. They meet once a week in the Arts @ Trinity Centre, the former church beside the new Leeds Trinity Shopping centre.
That's the first time I've heard of such a choir!
ReplyDeleteMusic seems to work so many wonders!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty interesting. I have read, for example, that some people with stammers don't stammer when singing. Bodies are remarkable things.
