Music Therapy

Music therapy is a research based practice and profession where we use music to actively support people as they strive to improve their health, capacity, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on therapeutic outcomes rather than musical ones. Music Therapy is great for those with:

• Physical and intellectual disabilities
• Early Intervention needs
• Mental health conditions
• Speech and language disorders
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Regulation, Emotional and behavioural difficulties
• Coordination disorders
• Family relationship difficulties
• Brain injury rehabilitation plans

Our music therapists are committed to supporting people of any age and ability regardless of musical skill, culture or background in helping them express, play, create and enjoy music. Learning an instrument is great for:

• Improving physical health and ability
• Addressing emotional and behavioural difficulties
• Developing communication and social skills
• Increasing creativity, self-esteem and confidence
• Rehabilitation of upper and lower limbs|
• Emotional and sensory regulation
• Two-way communication skills
• Motor planning
• Social engagement
