“It creates the right sensory and therapeutic environment for us to help people achieve their goals. These can be they physical, psychological, emotional, cognitive or developmental.

“Music therapy incorporates a range of music making methods in a therapeutic setting to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals.

“Our Registered Music Therapists are university trained to Masters level and are registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

“They have studied all aspects of music performance, history and theory, in addition to psychology, physiology, social theory and models of therapeutic intervention.”

“Sessions can be one-to-one, or in small groups and can also include family members, friends or carers.
