After a stroke, this musician found his singing voice again with help from a special choir

AP Medical Writer

A choir for stroke survivors is helping one musician find his singing voice again. Music lights up multiple regions of the brain, strengthening neural connections between areas that govern language, memories, emotions and movement. Stroke survivor Ron Spitzer says the choir has been crucial to his recovery. It meets weekly at Mount Sinai’s Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine in New York. Such choirs offer the hope of healing through music. They also provide a place where stroke survivors don’t have to explain their limitations.
