About Musicwell
Musicking for wellbeing
Musicwell brings people together through music.
Whether it's a therapy session, a song for someone you love, or a night out at a gig, everything I do is about music being for everyone, whatever your ability, background or age.
Inclusive
Everyone is musical. No experience needed, and every way of communicating is welcome.
Strengths-based
We start from what you enjoy and what you can do, and build from there.
Community
Music connects us. Making music together builds friendships, belonging and a place in your community.
Kia ora, I'm Sophie
I've spent 15 years working in disability and mental health, 8 of them as a music therapist.
I'm also a singer-songwriter and performer, and I believe music belongs to everyone.
"Music has no boundaries, anyone can feel it, anyone is musical, it carries our culture and it connects us within as well as to the outside." – as quoted in The Post
