Hello!

Firstly, we hope you are all well and coping through this lockdown. Thank you for your support with the move of all of our Tuned In Music Therapy services online.

Huge thanks to your team of music therapists and administrators who are working hard to create and schedule engaging online programs that continue to meet your therapeutic goals.

We miss seeing you all so feel free to email me your pictures and feedback on our service... it can be a real motivator for the team. Likewise, if you are not happy with your service, please do contact me directly and we will immediately review that for you.

We appreciate those who have already joined us online, and welcome any new participants. You can share this newsletter if you feel it would be helpful or connect people to our website or social media pages.

I started this update by stating that we hope you are all well.

We sincerely mean that.

If anyone is struggling in any way, don't hesitate to call.

Even if it is just for a chat or some words of advice. We are part of a supportive allied health network so if we can't help, we can always redirect you to additional supports.

Take good care during this time. Stay safe.

ONLINE MUSIC THERAPY

Thanks to Harry and Shintaro and also Brianna, our student of music therapy, for allowing a share of a small part of their weekly program. CLICK THE IMAGE to see Brianna encourage choice-making and entrainment to the beat.

We're making use of live music and technology to support levels of attention, increases in imitation, creative thinking, auditory discrimination, and more.

Using music in our therapy service to support communication, cognition, emotional regulation, motor planning and social goals. We're having a lot of fun at the same time too!

Below are some pictures that have been shared of music therapy in action,

Thanks everyone for the share! We appreciate everyone moving online with us and welcome those who want to try music therapy online.

LATEST UPDATES

Community Event rescheduled

On the day lockdown was announced, we were getting ready to send you an invite to our community event that we planned to hold at Bucketty's, Brookvale. Some of the young adults who attend our group music therapy programs were scheduled to play as a band and we were hoping you'd all come for the gig and some music-making with the first drink on Tuned In Music Therapy.

But all is not lost. We will do this! And we hope to invite you to the rescheduled event in October.

We'll be aiming to make it bigger and better than what we had already planned... if Gladys says we can!
