STB Parkinson's Training

Training

 

Sing to Beat Parkinson’s were delighted to host their 6th residential training course for the first time at The Grand in Folkestone on Saturday February 3rd and Sunday February 4th 2024. 

The course offered an opportunity for singing and health group leaders to engage in open space and reflection, to share best practice, and to gain the additional specialist skills and experience required to run singing groups for people living with Parkinson’s.

The course was led by our training team comprising:

  • Nicola Wydenbach
    (Director of Training at Sing to Beat Parkinson’s)
  • Trish Vella-Burrows
    (Director of Music4Wellbeing, Sing to Beat Parkinson’s researcher and leading practitioner)
  • Dr Yoon Irons
    (Associate Professor of Arts for Health and Wellbeing)
  • Matt Shipton (Programme Director of Sing to Beat)

with additional guest practitioners, Emily Renshaw-Kidd (Artistic Director) and Prof Grenville Hancox (Hon. President and founder)

Sing to Beat's next introductory online training course is scheduled over two weekends in November (9/10 and 16/17) later in 2024. 

Our next residential course will take place in Folkestone on 7/8/9 February 2025.

We are hoping to schedule a one-day course in the Midlands later in 2024. Watch this space for more information.
