About this Event

* ** Doors 1:45pm, reading 2:00-2:45pm ***
After the reading there will be an opportunity to ask questions and to meet the author


Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession practiced by certified music therapists around the world. However, it is still largely unknown within the general population and underutilised as a form of therapy.

The Power of Music Therapy includes inspirational stories of very special individuals whom the author has worked with over the past decade and the many different ways music therapy has positively impacted their lives. It also aims to highlight the reasons why music therapy is so valuable from birth to the end of life, including but not limited to those who are living with neurodiversity, brain injuries, dementia or mental health conditions. It is the author’s hope that this book will provide professional insight and help to shine a light on music therapy—combining research, personal reflections and explanations of proven techniques with real-life stories to provide a small snapshot into the field.

The book launch and reading is for anyone who enjoys music, is interested in discovering more about music therapy and how it can benefit others, interested in exploring music therapy for themselves or their loved one(s) or simply for anyone who enjoys listening to inspiring stories.

Join for an afternoon of sharing excerpts from the book, including some of the songs featured throughout.

Hope to see you there!
