Cancare talk

Dear all,

 

How have you been? Hope life is treating you well :)

 

It was delightful to give 4 talks across sydney this year at a cancer organisation - an organisation with a lot of care and love. I've been grateful to help with volunteering at Cancare- attending their support groups and chatting with the caregivers...  helping with music at their talks and events. The trainings they provide are not just informational, but yet supports a lot of their needs, from themselves to the whole family. I really Appreciate the heart and effort by the staff and I hope they can help more people in need

Here are some photos

 

It was great seeing a lot of people engage, ask questions. Some were interested in music therapy, some were interested in purchasing the instruments.

There was a lot of great feedback about how music could calm patients and carers  down. It was a great afternoon for me to spend time with them too!

Music therapy can assist people with cancer to

Help you to express your emotions

Help you cope with symptoms of a disease and its treatment

Improve your emotional and physical well being

Develop self confidence and self esteem

Develop or re-kindle a sense of creativity

Help you to relax and feel comfortable

In a music therapy session, musical experiences may vary from

• Listen to music
• Move to music
• Sing
• Make music with simple instruments, with the music therapist
• Write and discuss song lyrics
• Use guided imagery alongside music

SBS Radio Interview

Dear all,

It's been a cold winter holiday here in sydney, yet I've been lucky enough to have some rest (finally)!

 

I'm honoured to be interviewed by the SBS radio for an on air interview, by Seline and Ivan. We talked a lot about What music therapy is,  what it involves, story sharing and a lot more. Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity to be able to share music and my passion to the audience! (Of course, I was a bit nervous as well!)
