The TEMPO Lab is conducting research to better understand how singing, music-based activities, and social engagement can support the health and well-being of people living with Parkinson's disease. Through our studies, we seek to advance evidence-based interventions that improve voice, communication, psychosocial well-being, and quality of life.

We regularly invite individuals with Parkinson's disease, care partners, family members, and community members to participate in research studies, program evaluations, interviews, surveys, and performance-related projects. Participation helps researchers better understand the impact of therapeutic group singing while contributing to the development of accessible resources and programs for the Parkinson's community.

Current Research Opportunities

Therapeutic Group Singing Studies

Researchers are investigating how participation in therapeutic group singing programs may affect voice quality, communication, psychosocial well-being, and overall quality of life for individuals living with Parkinson's disease. Opportunities may include group singing participation, questionnaires, and voice assessments.

Community Performance Research

Some studies explore the experiences of singers and audience members who attend Tremble Clefs performances. These projects help researchers understand how community performances may influence awareness, understanding, and perceptions of Parkinson's disease.
