VIRTUAL PD CHORAL concert on Wed. Sept. 30
Our song "We Go On Day By Day" was written by West Side's Beth Lee
Many of our members accepted an invitation to participate in a virtual PD singing festival. We were invited to join this project by Elizabeth Stegemöller, an Associate Professor at Iowa State University of Science and Technology. Dr. Stegemöller has researched the benefits of singing for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and leads a PD singing group in Ames, Iowa.
“What the World Needs Now is Love” is the song of a mega Virtual PD Choral Production. Our members were recorded singing “We Go On Day By Day” written by our own Beth Lee. Tremble Clefs Arizona is joining in this virtual concert with 2 Tremble Clefs groups from California. Singers were photographed and recorded by university students.

Special Zooms - August, September, October
Sun Joo Lee is holding a fee-based Zoom with limited membership
In her own words, Sun Joo explains: "I have decided to donate my professional hours to help Tremble Clefs raise money so our programs can continue. All the fees collected with this Special Zoom class will go to Tremble Clefs Arizona."
The number of participants in this Zoom will be limited to 25. This special Zoom will give people with Parkinson's disease more time to interact with our music therapist, Sun Joo Lee. It will meets every Friday morning at 8:50 a.m.
Sessions will continue in August, September, and October. The cost for a month with 4 Friday sessions is $40. You pay by the month, not the session. There will be no refunds if you miss a Friday.
If you have questions or want to register, you may contact Ms. Lee at ssoli96@hotmail.com OR Tim Sheehan at Clefnote2019@gmail.com.
Tremble Clefs Arizona needs to raise funds for our new South East Tremble Clefs, which meets in Sun Lakes. Of course, with the coronavirus we do not meet in person. There are no group practice sessions as previously; no concerts. Fund-raising events are cancelled. Grant funds from the Parkinson Foundation helped us begin two new groups in Maricopa County. We actively seek donations from our members and their families and friends, to help us continue what we have begun. We are a recognized charity. For more information about how to donate, please go to the Donations page of our website.
By donating her expertise and time for this new Friday Special Zoom, our Music Director is helping TC AZ raise funds. Let's hope SunJoo's example inspires others to donate to TC AZ.
