🧠🎶 October is ADHD Awareness Month, and at Tweedle Music, we’re shining a light on how music can be a powerful ally in understanding and supporting neurodiverse individuals.

Music isn’t just about rhythm and melody - it’s a window into attention, regulation and emotional connection. In our sessions, we often see:
🥁 Improved focus and impulse control through structured musical play
🎤 Emotional expression and self-confidence blossom in safe, creative spaces
🎼 Musical responses that can help identify patterns linked to ADHD traits.

Whether it’s tapping to a beat, choosing instruments or engaging in musical storytelling, these moments offer valuable insights - and joyful breakthroughs.
Let’s celebrate the strengths of neurodiverse children and adults and continue advocating for early support, inclusive therapies and creative pathways to wellbeing.

🎉🫶 Clay & Sip Celebration 🫶🎉
This month, our amazing team came together at our Southport clinic to celebrate four years - with a creative twist!
We marked the milestone with a "Clay & Sip" event filled with laughter, connection and a whole lot of artistic flair. From hand-crafted masterpieces to heartfelt conversations, it was the perfect way to honour the journey we’ve shared and the community we’ve built from the ground up - just like our ceramic creations!
Over the past four years, our clinics have grown into a vibrant, compassionate space where children, families and clinicians thrive. We’re proud of the care we provide, the relationships we’ve nurtured and the impact we continue to make.
To our team - thank you for your passion, your purpose and your playful spirit. Here’s to many more years of growth, creativity and collaboration!

🌟 It’s Hidden Disabilities Week, and at Tweedle, we’re amplifying understanding, empathy and the power of music to support those whose challenges may not be immediately visible.
Hidden disabilities (such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory processing differences and learning disorders) can affect how individuals experience the world.
Through music, we create safe spaces where:
🎶 Expression flows without pressure
🧠 Regulation and focus are gently nurtured
💬 Communication builds through rhythm, sound and play
💛 Strengths shine in ways words alone can’t capture.
Music therapy meets each person where they are - offering connection, confidence and calm. It’s not just about notes and beats; it’s about being seen, heard and supported.
Let’s keep listening with compassion and celebrating every voice - especially the quiet ones.
