Music Sessions for Children - Songlife Connections
Music therapy for children & families
Participate in music therapy for children - Songlife Connections
Songlife Connections music sessions are held weekly at Growlife Medical and are run by registered music therapist Amy Cooper, who has extensive experience supporting children and adults through music therapy.
Based on research, Songlife Connections programs use music to support connection and interaction between parents and children. The sessions provide a welcoming environment where families can share music together and explore how singing and musical play may support early development and engagement.
No prior musical experience is required to participate.
These sessions may also be suitable for children experiencing neurodivergence, speech and language concerns, or anxiety, and can be adapted to support individual needs. Songlife Connections classes run on a term basis; however, casual classes are available upon request. You can learn more here.
