Bilingual Music & Therapy

26/05/2026

喺 Bilingual Music & Therapy，我哋一直都非常歡迎家長嘅意見同回饋，因為呢啲回饋能夠幫助我哋不斷進步，更加了解每個家庭同小朋友嘅需要。💛

其實喺幕後，我哋一直都同家長保持緊密溝通，包括分享小朋友嘅進步、一起討論目標，同埋提供適合嘅建議去支援小朋友發展（例如建議參加小組課程，幫助建立社交溝通同與同齡小朋友互動嘅能力）。

好多謝大家一直以來嘅信任同回饋。能夠見證每一位小朋友嘅成長、自信同連結，對我哋而言，就係呢份工作最大嘅意義同回報。✨

At Bilingual Music & Therapy, we always welcome feedback from families — it helps us continue to grow, improve, and better understand each child’s and family’s needs. 💛

Behind the scenes, we work closely with families through ongoing communication: sharing children’s progress, discussing goals together, and offering suggestions to support development (for example, recommending group sessions to help build social communication and peer interaction skills).

Thank you for the lovely feedback and trust in our team. Seeing each child’s growth, confidence, and connection is truly the most meaningful reward in our work. ✨

Sometimes, connection doesn’t begin with words. 🎶

In the music therapy room, it might start with a gentle strum, a shared rhythm, or simply being present together. Over time, these small musical moments become something more — a glance, a response, a sense of “we are together.”

For May, connection is growing through music — through sound, movement, and shared experience. And in those moments, communication begins to take shape in its own beautiful way.

Thank you to May’s parent for their genuine consent to share this special connection between May and RMT Josephine 💛

有時候，連結並唔係由語言開始。🎶

喺音樂治療室入面，可能只係由一個輕輕嘅和弦、一段共享嘅節奏，或者單純一齊存在嘅時刻開始。慢慢地，呢啲細微嘅音樂互動，會變成更多——一個眼神、一個回應、一種「我哋係一齊」嘅感覺。

對 May 嚟講，佢正透過音樂建立連結——透過聲音、動作，同埋共同經歷。喺呢啲時刻入面，溝通會以屬於佢自己嘅方式，慢慢成形。

感謝 May 嘅家長真誠同意我哋分享呢段美好嘅連結，見證 May 同我哋嘅註冊音樂治療師 之間嘅互動 💛

Happy World Music Therapy Week! 🎶

Today we’re featuring Yvonne, a trilingual music therapist based in Melbourne 🇦🇺, originally trained in China 🇨🇳.

Yvonne shares how working in Australia’s multicultural context brings both opportunities and challenges — from adapting to different music styles (rock, jazz, English pop 🎸) to learning cultural history and language nuances to better connect with clients.

She reflects on moments of self-doubt when working in English, but also how her confidence grows when supporting Chinese-speaking communities — especially through choir work ❤️

✨ Her message:
Trust the music. Trust yourself.

世界音樂治療週快樂！🎶

今日為大家介紹 Yvonne 🇦🇺 ，我們精通三語嘅音樂治療師，原本喺中國 🇨🇳 接受訓練。

Yvonne 分享喺澳洲多元文化環境下工作，既充滿機會亦有挑戰——由適應唔同音樂風格（例如 rock、jazz、英文流行曲 🎸），到學習文化歷史同語言細節，去更好咁同服務對象建立連結。

佢亦提到，喺用英文工作時曾經出現自我懷疑，但當佢服務華語社群、特別係帶領合唱團嘅時候，就會重新建立信心 ❤️

✨ 佢嘅訊息：
相信音樂，相信自己。
