Songwriting for Mental Health
Try something new this Mental Health Month and with the guidance of a qualified music therapist, write your first song.
This session is suitable for people of all abilities – whether this is your first time writing a song or your hundredth. You do not need to know how to write music or play an instrument. You just have to be ready to have a go!
Participants will be led by Music Therapist at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Matt Ralph and UNSW Alumna Olivia Halliday, and work through the process of writing song lyrics and a melody, while reaping the wide-ranging benefits of therapeutic songwriting, including the opportunity for self-expression, stress relief, and tapping into your creative brain as a means of interpreting difficult circumstances and overcoming challenges.
The session will be held online and will begin at 6pm and run for approximately an hour. Participants are encouraged to block out their calendar until 7.30pm to allow for time for creative juices to flow!
This is an exclusive event, free for current UNSW Students and Staff.
