Music & Community Support
Music is one of the best ways to connect with people and feel part of your community. I offer music-based support for NDIS participants of all ages, helping you enjoy music, get out and about, and build connections in a way that suits you.
This is support work, not music therapy.

What we can do together
Go to gigs, festivals, open mics and community music events
Join a choir, drumming circle or music group, with support to settle in
Jam, sing or practise an instrument you enjoy
Explore music shops, libraries, workshops and community spaces
Make your own song
Have a song in you?
I'll support you to write it, record it and make your own music video, and you'll learn how to do every step yourself along the way.
What you'll learn
Songwriting
Turning your ideas, stories and feelings into lyrics and a melody.
Recording
Setting up a simple home studio and recording your voice or instrument.
Producing
Using music software to add beats and sounds, and mix your track.
Making a music video
Planning, filming on a phone or camera, and editing your clip.
Go at your own pace.
Learn one part or all of them.
By the end, you'll have your own song, and the skills to make more.
Booked as support work at an hourly rate, in line with your NDIS plan and goals. This is a creative support service, not music therapy.

Questions
Is this music therapy?
No. It's support work that uses music to help you take part in your community. There are no clinical goals or reports.
Do I need to be musical?
Not at all. All you need is to enjoy music, or be curious to try.
Can my support coordinator contact you?
Yes. Support coordinators, plan managers and families are welcome to get in touch.
