One of my work places - Musical Between



Dear all,



Just wondering you might want to have a look at one of my work places - MUSICAL BETWEEN. It's a Music therapy service provided for people in need at Thornleigh Community Centre. I've been working there since this year! It is really wonderful working with long term clients in individual and group settings, love seeing their responses when there's music interaction! We update regularly about our clients' wonderful stories on the website :)



Musical Between -




Why "Musical Between" this name ?
 ‘Musical Between’ where music is not just a physical presence between us but a creative sharing of musical thought, feeling, form and meaning. This is the touchstone for our music therapy. The Between cannot be seen, heard nor touched, but Musical Between can be heard, and it allows us a ‘becoming together’ rather than just a ‘being together’ (Ansdell, 1995).

But we can do small things with great love.'
