Blend Creative

As World Music Therapy week comes to a close, Blend Creative are proud to stand alongside our friends at Australian Music Therapy Association – championing the power of music to connect, uplift, and create meaningful change. As a social purpose studio supporting people with disability, this work resonates deeply with us, and we’re here for it – loudly and wholeheartedly.

During World Music Therapy Week, we're showing how people connect with music therapy. Josephine Sham RMT is the director of a bilingual music therapy practice that connects people with their communities.

“My cultural and linguistic background allows me to build meaningful and deeply connected therapeutic relationships with my clients,” Josephine says.

“During COVID, I supported a pair of Chinese older adults who were experiencing significant isolation. They didn't speak English, and the lockdown made their world even smaller. Through online sessions, I sang familiar Cantonese songs to support them - songs that carried memories, identity, and comfort. In those moments, music became more than just music - it lifted their mood, eased feelings of depression, and reconnected them to something deeply familiar.

“That experience remains incredibly precious to me. Music therapy not only supports my clients - it also brings together my cultural identity and professional identity in a deeply meaningful way.”

Thank you, Josephine, for sharing how music therapy connects, as part of World Music Therapy Week.

Happy Easter to our wonderful community.
May your day be full of sunshine, sweet treats, and zero judgement for how much chocolate you eat 🤣 💜
