About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease every year. We hear the story of one of them, Ben Rivers, who has found ways to maintain an active inner life even as his body slows down.

Tremble Clefs® San Diego is a fun and free, nonprofit, therapeutic singing program for people living with Parkinson’s and their caregiving partners. It is generously supported by a community grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation. 

Under the guidance of a professional choral director, we sing popular songs along with active movement that provides singers with benefits that may relieve common symptoms of the disease.
