THE STRIKING VOICE is a program enabling people who can’t speak to regain their voice by way of a musical instrument, the trump (jaws’ harp), and was designed for people with throat cancer, trauma or Parkinson’s Decease. Now these people can recover their voice by way of this low cost alternative and we want our program to reach anyone who wants to learn how.
While our program is being demonstrated at hospitals and universities, other work continues.
