Uplift Music

Uplift Music Jaye Odgers -
Registered Music Therapist Music therapists incorporate a range of music making methods within and through a therapeutic relationship.

Music therapy is a research-based practice and profession in which music is used to actively support people as they strive to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapy is the intentional use of music by a university trained professional who is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association Inc. Registered music therapists draw on an extensive body of research and are

bound by a code of ethics that informs their practice. They are employed in a variety of sectors including health, community, aged care, disability, early childhood, and private practice. Music therapy is different from music education and entertainment as it focuses on health, functioning and wellbeing. Music therapists are committed to supporting people of any age and ability regardless of musical skill, culture or background.

It's World Music Therapy Week -10 to 15 April 🎶

🎉It’s World Music Therapy Week!

Between 10 and 15 April, the Australian Music Therapy Association invites you to connect with music therapy. We want to hear and share your stories about how music therapy connects - in so many different ways, across every life stage.

Today, we’re thinking about how music therapy connects young people...
🎶 In schools, music therapy can help children build communication skills when speech is difficult.
🎤 When an autistic child sings along with a registered music therapist, they’re developing language and communication skills essential for peer play.
🎸 For teenagers, music is often a lifeline. A chat with a qualified therapist about a favourite song can open up a meaningful conversation about mental health.

Would you like to connect with music therapy? Visit the Australian Music Therapy website to learn more, and reach out to a registered music therapist via our online directory. https://www.austmta.org.au/
