It was a pleasure to be invited to St Machar Academy this morning to deliver an introduction to music therapy for pupils on the Music and Wellbeing module.

During the session, we explored what music therapy is, its potential benefits, and took part in an active workshop. Pupils engaged in creative activities and discussed key considerations for designing their own music and wellbeing sessions, which they’ll be developing as part of the module.

It was fantastic to see their curiosity and enthusiasm, particularly during the questions they asked about career pathways and the realities of working in this field.

This week, Hannah attended an event celebrating the incredible work of the Aberdeenshire Promise Groups. These groups are driving positive change within education by supporting care experienced young people through activities like music therapy, helping them build confidence, communication skills, and ensuring their voices are heard and valued. Representing ELM on behalf of Nadine (who has been leading of the the groups this term), Hannah also led a short musical activity to demonstrate the kind of work we deliver to pupils, staff and council members attending the event.
