Harmonicas for Health
…..and Happiness
Are you a resident of BC diagnosed with a chronic lung condition?
Would you like to learn how to play the harmonica?
No music experience is required, only a desire to try!
If you are interested in joining, email us at poplar@poplarpulmonary.com or call 236-361-3480.
Developed by the COPD Foundation, Harmonicas for Health is a 5-week program designed for those living with chronic lung conditions.
Playing the harmonica is exercise! It strengthens the diaphragm, promotes breath control, and mimics the pursed-lip breathing technique that is used to reduce shortness of breath.
Watch the COPD Foundation video to hear about the joys and benefits that the Harmonicas for Health program brings.
