25.01.2022 Today is Allied Health Professional Day! We would like to take a moment to show our appreciation for being one of the many allied health professions that make up a third of the workforce in the Australian health sector alone. Music therapists can work as part of an allied health team, alongside physiotherapists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, audiologists and so on. We work across a range of environments, from hospitals, rehabilitation centres, community centre...s or private practice like Sound Expression. We would particularly like to thank all the music therapists and allied health professionals for the work they are doing in contributing to COVID-19 recovery for individuals and for the ongoing care they are continuing to provide the broader community throughout the pandemic. #AHPsDay #strongertogether #alliedhealth #soundexpressionaustralia See more

18.01.2022 Alex learns the process of music production by recording a song! We are very excited to share this video preview of Alex performing 'Angel' by Sarah McLachlan. What started out as Alex learning more complex piano chords evolved to be a full audio production project. Alex learnt about vocal and piano recording, layering, and mastering the track all together to create this wonderful final product!... Thank you to Grace Elliott for sharing her knowledge about music production in working alongside Alex and his therapist, Iani Sujono, to produce this track. You can watch the full track on our YouTube channel by clicking on this link: https://youtu.be/KiZjVMmOAl0 We hope you enjoy watching this video as much as we did! #soundexpressionaustralia #musictherapy

11.01.2022 Another activity that you can do at home with your child - take a moment to sit down together and have a chat! Some questions you could ask: What did you do at school today?... Who did you play with at lunchtime? If your favourite toy could talk, what would it say? How do you think animals talk to each other? Have fun and let us know what your child came up with next time you are in the clinic! #soundexpressionaustralia #musictherapy #learnathome

03.01.2022 MEMORABLE MOMENTS: Peeking through our clients' music therapy journey. One of our therapists was working with a young 8 year old client with autism. During a recent session, the client stopped playing the piano and started intently studying the therapist's face, for what seemed like a long time. And when he finished studying his face, this happened Client: Yeh, you’re old!... Therapist: Laughing out loud Client: Are you laughing because you’re old? Have a wonderful Friday and safe weekend! #soundexpressionaustralia #musictherapy
