Strengthening Voices. Inspiring Possibility.Welcome to SongShine.
Innovative, original, and profound, SongShine is a music and creative imagination based
immersive, holistic program that strengthens voices. Whether you (or someone
you know) have a diminished voice due to Parkinson’s, stroke, another
neurological disease, or aging, our program harnesses the power of brain,
breath, and emotion to transcend limitations and help people thrive. SongShine’s program reclaims voices and
transforms lives. Inspiring? Absolutely.
A Program That’s Both Heart and Science. SongShine is designed around the leading edge science of neuroplasticity – the human brain’s ability to reorganize itself and change. By stimulating alternative brain pathways, singing and music fortify the voice and facilitate speech recovery. The brain’s ability to rewire is miraculous, which is why SongShine is so powerful. Think of it as heart and science. Because
speech is the cornerstone of communication, SongShine is committed to improving the lives of people with
neurologically-compromised speech. We train instructors using singing, speech,
and creative imagination to strengthen voices. Whether you are a prospective instructor, have
Parkinson's disease, stroke, other neurological disorders, or simply have an
aging voice, we WELCOME you.

"Before taking SongShine classes, my voice was so soft I could barely hear myself."
Harry Hulson
Palm Springs, California
[ Harry is now able to speak on the phone, carry on conversations with people for extended time and resume activities
that require the use of his voice. Harry has made an excellent solo CD and has sung in karaoke settings.
He made his solo singing debut with the SongShine Singers in February 2008.
Prior to developing Parkinson's, Mr. Hulson was an accountant; after SongShine, music has become a new passion. ]
"As my Parkinson's has progressed, I have been fearful that I would have to quit singing
and that my speaking voice would just get softer and softer. Now I know that won't happen.
You [SongShine] have changed my life forever."
Joyce Olson
Portland, Oregon
"SongShine helped me recover my ability to speak again."
Bill Parry
Covenant Village of Turlock, California
"Four years ago, I noticed a tremor in my right hand. My voice was getting weaker. I have Parkinson's.
Then three years ago, I discovered SongShine. I'm not as sad as I used to be.
Now I'm happier and my voice is coming back -- I sing every day -- I have many new friends.
SongShine has changed my life."
