Rattle & Strum Music Therapy was established with the view that music has the power to create positive change in people’s lives.
Our therapists uniquely combine the verbal and cognitive aspects of therapy with the tactile and emotional qualities of playing musical instruments. Through the use of percussion instruments, guitar, lyric-writing, and vocalisation, clients can express themselves in a way that promotes a sense of awareness, self-esteem and community.
Rattle & Strum Music Therapy understands that rural communities may not have the same accessibility to diverse forms of therapy as urban centres. Therefore, the team at Rattle & Strum is dedicated to bringing music therapy to rural towns situated in North East Victoria and South West New South Wales.
Rattle & Strum respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we come together to create music and promote healing—the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples, as well as the Gadigal people. We also pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.
