Last week, we partnered with The Benevolent Society to deliver our Sound Reset Workshop: Music for the Tough Days for carers. Carers play such an important role in supporting others, whether it be caring for a child, an ageing parent, or a loved one who is unwell — often giving so much of themselves in the process.

Led by one of our team members Lucy Morgan, the session explored meaningful and practical ways to use music to manage stress, regulate emotions and create moments of calm — even on the toughest days.

A big thank you to The Benevolent Society for inviting us to be part of this important work supporting carers in our community.

We've written songs about brushing teeth, crossing roads, and 'walk not run' for shopping centres. And when those songs come home with families, when they're used at school or to start the day that's when therapy becomes real-world support.

What happens in music therapy doesn't stay in the session. It flows into the day-today - and often, into the relationships around it.

Here are a few snippets of Adem's first pub gig!

Adem began music therapy at Sound Expression at just 9 years old with a focus on developing his social and communication skills through music.

Nine years on, he’s taken his drumming beyond the therapy room and onto the stage — performing his very first pub gig. Supported by his music therapist Pete McDonald and Music Therapy Student Tom, Adem played at The Bayview Hotel Gladesville to an audience of around 70 people!

From working on social interaction within sessions to now performing in a live venue, connecting with an audience and contributing to a shared musical experience - Adem is not only participating in his community, but actively creating one through music.

We’ve also been working on flexibility — and Adem showed exactly that on the day. When an extra song was added, without rehearsal or prior planning, he rose to the challenge and played through with confidence.

Moments like this highlight what’s possible when we focus on strengths and build on individual abilities - this is what meaningful skills transfer can look like!

Adem, what an incredible achievement 🤩Congratulations on your first pub gig — we look forward to many more to come!

🎶 It’s World Music Therapy Week 🎶

This week is a chance to highlight the impact of music therapy and the meaningful connections it supports every day.

At Sound Expression, our team sees firsthand how music can support communication, engagement, emotional expression, and connection. Whether it’s a shared rhythm, a moment of joint attention, or a client’s first intentional sound, these moments matter.

We’re proud of the work our therapists do across all sessions—bringing consistency, responsiveness, and creativity to support each individual’s goals.

Thank you to our team for the care and skill you bring, and to the clients and families we work with for trusting us to be part of your journey.

“Tuesday on My Mind” was a hit this morning—the café was packed and the energy was so vibrant!

George & Andy were rocking it on their guitars, Selena owned the mic with Pink Pony Club and Tahlee wowed everyone with a drum solo on Boogie Woogie Piano. The crowd went wild in their encore —Johnny B. Goode.

A big thank you to George, Andy, Selena and Tahlee for sharing their music, to Pete McDonald (RMT) and Tom (music therapy student) for their support, and to The Dining & CO North Ryde for hosting us. And of course, thank you to all the families and friends who came along to cheer them on.

We’re still buzzing!
