Accessible music and education resources to support social and emotional development

Hi, I’m Leah, I’m a Developmental Psychologist and a Musician determined to share the joys and benefits that music, picture books and play can have on little bodies and minds.

I hold a BA, Dip. and MSc in Psychology, as well as Dip. in Community Music.

So much of my work with children and teens, both clinically and in music education, can be linked to the early years and the “foundation” that is established in this time… and so Sound Beginnings was born.

I want to collate and provide accessible information to Parents, Educators as well as Allied Health professionals to show the crossover benefits of musical play.

Sound Beginnings will grow a hub of resources and links for easy use for all who seek it. I hope you find something here that helps you, and the little ones in your life, have a sound beginning.

Leah
