EPISODE 8: Debunking the “Musical Bone” Myth with guest Allison Davies 

I AM SUPER EXCITED TO HAVE MY VERY FIRST GUEST JOINING US TODAY ON THE PODCAST!

Your ears and hearts are going to be blessed with the wonderful wisdom and insight from ALLISON DAVIES - a former Neurologic Music Therapist living and working on Tommeginne land, Lutruwita (Tasmania), Australia. Alli and I first became friends several years ago when our children went to kindergarten together, and we soon discovered many shared passions through music, nature, and the weird and wonderful workings of the brain!

Alli has so many years of experience working across early childhood, adolescent mental health, youth justice, neuro-rehabilitation and aged, dementia and palliative care. Her current focus involves creating online resources for parents and teachers seeking guidance around how to use music therapeutically in their own lives, and to reclaim their inherent musicality along the way. And in this podcast episode you’ll get a really clear insight into just how passionate she is about

  • Music as healing
  • Music as a ‘whole brain’ workout
  • Music as our Mother Tongue
  • debunking the myth that ‘the musical ones are those who can sing in tune, or play an instrument’.

As Allison says “Our voice is one of our greatest tools for self expression, emotional release, advocacy and empowerment, yet it has been suppressed for so long that our culture firmly believes our voice should be used for cognitive based spoken communication only”

Pretty powerful stuff hey! You’re gonna absolutely love this conversation - let’s tune in!
