Woah!! Today was a BIG one ⚡️

Kicked off with some under 9s making sequencing patterns (tiny legends making BIG sounds).
Then straight into some studio Therapy with a bunch of teens.

And honestly? This is where the good stuff happens. confidence building. social skills. decision making. all wrapped up in beats + sound + play 👏

Takeaway tips for parents ☝🏻

This roll up electronic drum set from is a great way at home to work on sequences, beat making, motor planning, coordination all in a small package.

There’s nothing like music to connect with people it’s creativity, curiosity, flow, and joy! 🎶

Music allows us to be present in the moment. Suddenly, the conversation shifts. Suddenly we’re not talking about a diagnosis or condition, but about the person. 💡

Always ask yourself: What are the client’s goals?
Not your goals, the client’s goals 🙌

For example, Jimmy’s goals are:
🎶 Make more friends
🎶 Learn an instrument
🎶 Build confidence
🎶 Feel less emotional when parents aren’t around

If you found value in this post, share it with someone who might benefit! 👋🎶

Client creativity in action ! 🙌

This week rocks because we’re working on the next part of this song for this client, the Verse/riff of -

Smells Like Teen Spirit - NIRVANA 🙌🎶

This is awesome because we’re having fun, but we’re also working on goals. I’ve noticed great development in this clients regulation, coordination, and sustained attention from these music interventions

What if we told you that this simple colour-coded pattern is actually the intro to:

Smells Like Teen Spirit – NIRVANA ?🥁🎶😲

This client has loved this and is looking forward to learning more parts of the song, yay!!
Stay TUUNEED 🔥

At Access Music Therapy, we use creative, accessible tools like colours and numbers to make music less daunting and more engaging than traditional notation! 🥁🌈

By breaking songs into manageable chunks, we support clients of all abilities (including ASD/ADHD) in achieving meaningful goals like:
✔️ Improving self-regulation
✔️ Sustaining attention
✔️ Managing inhibition & perseverative/repetitive playing

Because music isn’t just about learning notes — it’s about building skills, confidence, and joy !! 🔥🤘

We’re all about exploration here, and letting go of expectation. Music Therapy is fun, it’s curious, it’s play.

AND we always want to leave you or your child feeling better than when they first walked in.

Share this with someone who you think would get value out of this 👋☺️🎶
