當非語言孩子喺 Baby Shark 停頓時按一下 buzz,佢建立緊一些非常「溝通性」嘅能力:

✅佢明白到”cause and effect” (按掣、音樂繼續),呢個係有意義行為、與其他人溝通的基礎,繼而可以開始建立溝通主動性這個能力
✅ 透過可預測的音樂時機, 孩子雖然沒有語言,但透過動作就可以 主動「發聲」 參與,成就了非語言的溝通
✅透過按一下、就可以「發聲」參與、就可以與治療師互動,建立了有意向(intentional )的溝通能力
✅在適當的音樂位置回應,建立了溝通中非常重要的「聆聽」能力
✅好明顯,過程中充滿互動性,也是建立了溝通中的社交互動、輪流

參與音樂、參與音樂治療、在音樂中建立能力,係唔需要有語言嘅💛

對音樂治療有任何疑問,歡迎聯絡我們

(我們已得到影片中的主角家長的許可使用在社交媒體上)

When a non-speaking child presses the buzz switch during the pause in Baby Shark, they are actually developing important communication abilities:

✅ They are understanding cause and effect (pressing the switch → music continues). This forms the foundation of meaningful action and communicating with others, which then supports the development of communication initiation.

✅ Through predictable musical timing, even without spoken language, the child can use movement to “make a sound” and participate. This is a form of non-speaking communication.

✅ Pressing the switch to “make the music happen” allows the child to interact intentionally with the therapist. This supports the development of intentional communication.

✅ Responding at the correct moment in the music helps build listening and timing, both essential components of communication.

✅ And of course, the whole process is full of interaction, turn-taking, and shared engagement, which strengthens social communication skills.



You don’t need spoken language to participate in music,or to develop communication through music therapy 💛

If you have any questions about music therapy, feel free to contact us.

上個月,創辦人音樂治療師Josephine、戲劇心理治療師Kin Sir接受了SBS 廣東話電台的訪問,暢談NDIS 政策和價格改變對行業和參與者的影響,在節目中也舉例說明了音樂和藝術治療有什麼實質的治療作用、以及治療師多元文化背景對治療的重要性。

請廣傳給廣東話的社群,讓更多人明白這兩項治療的重要,也讓社會關注政府政策改變對殘障人士的影響 🙇🏻‍♀️

政府委託專家對音樂與藝術治療進行獨立審查結果已於本年9月公布,藝術和音樂治療仍納入在國家殘障保險計劃(NDIS),但治療價格上限卻削減20%。有音樂治療師與藝術治療師向SBS廣東話表示,資助削減令業界經營壓力增加,....

🎶 Rewire Haven Choir - Term 4 starts Monday 6 October! 🎶

Every Monday, Yvonne, our choir leader and music therapist, makes the journey from the city to Boronia. Here’s what the Rewire - The Haven Choir means to her:

“Every Monday, my week begins on a train ride from the city to Boronia. The buildings slowly give way to those beautiful mountains. it always brings me such a peaceful feeling. It’s the perfect prelude to what truly fills my heart: the Rewire Haven Choir.

This choir isn’t about perfection. It’s about togetherness. Wrong notes, forgotten words, quiet listening. Every moment belongs. This is a place where everyone is welcome, exactly as they are. That’s the real power of a therapeutic community choir. Inclusive, gentle, and for everyone.

We sing familiar songs, we share memories, and we laugh. For those living with dementia and their families, this is a safe and gentle place. Music becomes a bridge that connects us all, allowing everyone to feel seen, heard, and valued.

Though I stand as the conductor and music therapist, I’m still learning the growing together with the choir. As an Asian therapist still finding my place in Australia, you’ve all taught me so much about music, culture, life, and kindness.

Thank you for letting me share my music, and thank you for sharing yours with me every Monday. 💛

Thank you Rewire Haven Choir. Thank you for this family.

— Yvonne"
