Recently, the Queensland Sunday Mail promoted the benifits of music therapy, presetning some reseach findings from the University of California.
We take some time to reflect on the life of Richard Thompson, a Queensland Music Therapist who passed away last year. We also look back at the AMTA conference of 2009 with a focus on the two award recipients, Astrid Notarangelo and Jeanette Milford.

Making Music Being Well is a joint venture between Australian Music Therapy Association and Music Play for Life campaign. It is an annual celebration of active music making for wellbeing.
