We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers who have been funded by a network grant from Parkinson’s UK to investigate the use of music among people with Parkinson’s. This research project aims to understand how people with Parkinson’s use music to manage their movements (e.g. synchronizing steps to the musical beat) and manage their moods (e.g. music to energize, to relax, or to soothe). We want to know from people with Parkinson’s how you use music so we can see if the patterns generalize, and therefore how we can apply the use of music to help shape strategies for overcoming difficulties in the future.
We would be extremely grateful for any responses to our survey from people with Parkinson’s. The survey can be found here and should take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete: https://hochschuleluzern.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d05Z6sBNkpZyLNX. Additionally, and based on feedback from people with Parkinson’s who helped us develop this survey, we can call you to complete the survey via phone or video link so that you don’t have to answer the questions online.
If you have any questions concerning the survey content, please contact the project leader, Dr. Dawn Rose(Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland) by clicking on this link: dawn.rose@hslu.ch. The project partners include: Dr. Ellen Poliakoff (University of Manchester), Dr. Michelle Phillips (Royal Northern College of Music), and Dr. Will Young (University of Exeter).

In this research, we want to explore how the use of images can help children understand numbers. Details here in English and French.

This study investigates the effects of different learning strategies on music performance and memory. The zoom first session will take approximately 1 hour and you will be given $10 for your participation (via e-transfer). A follow-up session one day later will take less than 30 minutes and you will be given $5 for your time. Full details for singers and pianists.
