  • A Registered Music Therapist (RMT) is registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association. Music Therapists are highly trained in using music to change lives for the better through programs tailored to meet the unique, evolving needs of each client we work with.

    To become a music therapist one will usually have to complete a music degree followed by a postgraduate qualification in music therapy. Graduates with a degree in another discipline may be considered for postgraduate degrees if they have an appropriate level of musical experience.

    Stomer Music therapists are hand chosen for not only their musical and therapeutic capacity but for value alignment, communication skills, ethics and heart.

  • There is a large body of research that describes how music affects the brain and how music can assist individuals with special needs. Music activates many areas of the brain and has been found to positively affect development, learning and daily functioning. These functions include attention, listening, speech production, emotions, motor skills, memory, coordination and decision making.

    Music therapy tends to address goals focused almost exclusively on interaction, communication, socialisation and physical needs. Research shows that using a child’s preferred songs can enable children with profound challenges to improve their choice-making skills using non-verbal facial expressions and eye-gaze.

  • Yes! As we are working in the same space, our therapists can collaborate on goals and even sessions if the schedule allows!
