The Tremble Clefs announced today that the documentary will premiere on Tuesday, February 8 on PACE-TV. This presentation will highlight the benefits of vocal therapy for individuals with Parkinson's, including their care partners.
One million Americans are living with Parkinson's, with 60,000 people newly diagnosed each year.

The program celebrates the voices of those individuals, welcoming singers of all levels. Members also participate in live performances and other activities in order to help raise funding to sustain this valuable program.
"We are excited about the exposure that this documentary will provide in highlighting the benefits of the Tremble Clefs," says San Diego founder Karen Hesley, who will be featured in an interview in the documentary. "Members of all three of our groups are energized and inspired by the opportunity that this documentary will have in providing Parkinson's patients with another beneficial therapy."
Also interviewed were current music director, Matt Ignacio and North Inland County group leader, Rick Ankrom who provided many significant insights into the history and creative direction of the group. The documentary will replay on Thursday, February 10 and Friday, February 11 and then air on the Tremble Clefs YouTube channel, as well as the website.

About Parkinson's Disease
Affecting an estimated one million Americans and 10 million worldwide, Parkinson's disease is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's and is the 14th-leading cause of death in the United States. It is associated with a progressive loss of motor control (e.g., shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression), as well as non-motor symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety). There is no cure for Parkinson's and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States alone.
