What Is the NDIS Music Participation Program?
Small‑group and individual music participation sessions delivered by qualified music educators. Sessions are play‑based, flexible, and respectful of individual sensory needs.
This is not a traditional lesson or therapy model. Children are invited to participate in ways that feel safe and meaningful to them — through listening, exploring sounds, playing alongside others, or joining in briefly.
All forms of participation are valid.
