""The Harmonica Parkinson's Project by Kevin Lockette fills a much-needed void for the Parkinsons community. It gives the patient a fun way to improve their speech and communication. Try it out!"" Melvin Yee MD Neurology Associates- Hawaii Assistant Clinical Professor- John A Burns School of Medicine University of Hawaii ""My husband Andy, the Parkinson patient, already knew how to play the harmonica. It was great fun for me to learn how to play Lessons were well paced. Such fun to learn to play some familiar songs. Loved the Parkinson Jive. Such clever lyrics. Need to retain our sense of humor. Kevin's lessons were helpful. What a great way to have fun but also improve your breathing and speech. Thank you very much."" Andy and Ginny Tanji Honolulu, Hawaii ""I enjoy the harmonica classes because it is a positive and fun exercise! It is both a good brain exercise and a good deep breathing exercise. Our chickens love it when they can hear us practice. Please continue the classes! Merci"" Gérard Beauvallet Hilo, Hawaii ""Kevin Lockette's love of music is contagious. He is a very good teacher.
