In this episode, we chat to former Neurologic Music Therapist Allison who stepped out of the allied health system after 16 years, and now focuses on enacting societal change by dismantling harmful musical myths. To get a sense of what Alli is all about, I thought I’d read one of her quotes which I love.

‘As a woman I was suppressed by the systems that told me to ‘be seen and not heard’, to ‘stop being hysterical’ and to ‘not give up my day job’ in response to my musical expression.
Others were led to believe that not being able to play an instrument, sing in tune or access lessons meant they were ‘not musical’. Some were told to mime in the school choir. Many were punished for using their voice to speak up.
These systems are coming to an end.
AND WE ARE THE ONES DISMANTLING THEM.”

Oof. Did you feel that? Yes? Then let’s chat to Alli about music and the brain, how to use music to help children regulate and how we are all musical. This is episode one of two of our chat together.
