Our Core Values

Evidence-Based Practice

We are committed to conducting rigorous research that advances knowledge of how therapeutic group singing influences health and wellness outcomes for people living with Parkinson's disease.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Our work is strengthened through partnerships among experts in music therapy, neurology, speech-language pathology, music education, and related disciplines. We believe complex health challenges require collaborative solutions.

Accessibility and Inclusion

We are dedicated to removing barriers to participation by creating free or low-cost resources, supporting community access, and sharing research findings in ways that are understandable and useful for diverse audiences.

Community Engagement

We value meaningful involvement from individuals with Parkinson's disease, care partners, families, and community members. Their experiences and voices help shape the direction of our research and programs.

Innovation Through the Arts
We believe the arts can play a transformative role in health and wellness. By integrating artistic experiences with scientific inquiry, we seek innovative approaches to improving quality of life.

Education and Knowledge Sharing
We are committed to training future researchers and clinicians, developing practical resources, and disseminating findings through publications, presentations, workshops, and public-facing materials.

Sustainability and Impact
We aim to create programs, resources, and research infrastructure that can be sustained beyond individual projects and adapted by practitioners and organizations worldwide.
