Bilingual Music & Therapy

Sometimes, connection doesn’t begin with words. 🎶

In the music therapy room, it might start with a gentle strum, a shared rhythm, or simply being present together. Over time, these small musical moments become something more — a glance, a response, a sense of “we are together.”

For May, connection is growing through music — through sound, movement, and shared experience. And in those moments, communication begins to take shape in its own beautiful way.

Thank you to May’s parent for their genuine consent to share this special connection between May and RMT Josephine 💛

有時候，連結並唔係由語言開始。🎶

喺音樂治療室入面，可能只係由一個輕輕嘅和弦、一段共享嘅節奏，或者單純一齊存在嘅時刻開始。慢慢地，呢啲細微嘅音樂互動，會變成更多——一個眼神、一個回應、一種「我哋係一齊」嘅感覺。

對 May 嚟講，佢正透過音樂建立連結——透過聲音、動作，同埋共同經歷。喺呢啲時刻入面，溝通會以屬於佢自己嘅方式，慢慢成形。

感謝 May 嘅家長真誠同意我哋分享呢段美好嘅連結，見證 May 同我哋嘅註冊音樂治療師 之間嘅互動 💛

🎶 We’re excited to continue our collaboration with Haven Day Centre through Rewire – The Haven Choir 💛

After a short break, the choir will be resuming next Monday for Term 2, and we can’t wait to make music together again!

This community choir is a beautiful space for connection, joy, and wellbeing — especially for individuals living with dementia and their loved ones.

✨ If you’d like to learn more or join us, feel free to contact us or Haven Day Centre for more information.

Rewire - The Haven Choir returns for Term 2 on Monday 20 April!

We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another term of music, connection and shared enjoyment.

Rewire - The Haven choir is a dementia-friendly choir, led by music therapists and open to everyone. It’s a warm and supportive space to sing familiar favourites, learn new songs, and enjoy the simple pleasure of coming together through music.

No musical experience is needed, just a willingness to join in.

Please see the flyer below for Term 2 dates and details, or contact Kathy on 9762 8423 for more information.

Happy World Music Therapy Week! 🎶

Today we’re featuring Yvonne, a trilingual music therapist based in Melbourne 🇦🇺, originally trained in China 🇨🇳.

Yvonne shares how working in Australia’s multicultural context brings both opportunities and challenges — from adapting to different music styles (rock, jazz, English pop 🎸) to learning cultural history and language nuances to better connect with clients.

She reflects on moments of self-doubt when working in English, but also how her confidence grows when supporting Chinese-speaking communities — especially through choir work ❤️

✨ Her message:
Trust the music. Trust yourself.

世界音樂治療週快樂！🎶

今日為大家介紹 Yvonne 🇦🇺 ，我們精通三語嘅音樂治療師，原本喺中國 🇨🇳 接受訓練。

Yvonne 分享喺澳洲多元文化環境下工作，既充滿機會亦有挑戰——由適應唔同音樂風格（例如 rock、jazz、英文流行曲 🎸），到學習文化歷史同語言細節，去更好咁同服務對象建立連結。

佢亦提到，喺用英文工作時曾經出現自我懷疑，但當佢服務華語社群、特別係帶領合唱團嘅時候，就會重新建立信心 ❤️

✨ 佢嘅訊息：
相信音樂，相信自己。

Happy World Music Therapy Week! 🎶

Our founder Josephine is a bilingual music therapist in Melbourne, originally from Hong Kong 🇭🇰, supporting families across cultures and languages. Through music and shared language, she helps build trust, connection, and access — not just for children, but for their whole families.

One family she worked with experienced significant isolation due to language barriers. By communicating in Cantonese and using music therapy, Josephine supported both the child’s development and empowered the mother to connect with community, learn English, and rebuild her support network 💛

✨ Her message: Music therapy doesn’t just support the child — it can transform the whole family.




祝大家「世界音樂治療週」快樂！🎶

我們的創辦人Josephine 係一位喺墨爾本執業嘅雙語音樂治療師，來自香港 🇭🇰，一直透過語言同文化，支持唔同背景嘅家庭。透過音樂同共同語言，佢幫助建立信任、連結同參與感——唔單止係對小朋友，而係整個家庭。

佢曾經服務過一個因語言障礙而感到非常孤立嘅家庭。透過廣東話溝通同音樂治療，Josephine 唔單止支持咗小朋友嘅發展，亦幫助媽媽慢慢走出孤立，連結社區、學習英文，重新建立支援網絡 💛

✨ 她想分享嘅訊息：音樂治療唔只係幫助小朋友——更可以改變整個家庭

“Music is a powerful stimulus for individuals living with dementia, as it engages and activates multiple regions across the whole brain.”

Bilingual Music & Therapy is proud to collaborate with Haven Day Centre to run the Rewire Haven Choir every Monday morning during the school term at Boronia.

The choir will resume in Term 2 on 20 April.

If you have a loved one or know someone living with dementia who may benefit from participating in a supportive and engaging community choir, please feel free to contact us ☺️

「音樂對於患有認知障礙症的人來說是一種非常有力的刺激，因為它能夠促進整個大腦多個區域的參與與運作。」

Bilingual Music & Therapy 很高興與 Haven Day Centre 合作，於學期間每逢星期一早上在 Boronia 舉辦 Rewire Haven Choir 合唱團。

合唱團將於 第二學期 4月20日 重新開始。

如果你身邊有親人或朋友正面對認知障礙症，並且可能從參與社區合唱團中獲益，歡迎隨時與我們聯絡 ☺️

More than 400,000 Australians are living with dementia, a number expected to rise sharply in coming decades.

🎶Celebrating World Speech Day! 💬

Music and speech share very close relationship. Rhythm, melody, and singing can all support the development of communication and language.
�Music therapists often work hand in hand with speech therapists to support clients’ speech and communication goals. Through music, we can encourage vocalisation, articulation, turn-taking, and confidence in communication.

If you’d like to learn more about how music therapy and speech therapy can work together, feel free to contact us for more information.

For speech therapy support, you can also reach out to Therapy Lab. Collaboration makes a difference! 🎶💬

It’s World Speech Day!

We’re celebrating the joy of communication and the dedicated clinicians who help children express themselves, connect, and thrive.

Every milestone matters — and we’re here for each one.
