About Us

In the words of Yehudi Menuhin, “Music is the voice of the universe, it is the voice of humanity and is part of our existence. Good music is the harmonisation of all the vibrations of which matter consists, and it restores us to ourselves and to our universe. I have always felt that music is basically therapeutic.” (1984)

Music therapy has been practised in Adelaide for a couple of decades now. As a response to the growth of the profession, Adelaide Music Therapy Centre is the first music therapy centre in Adelaide and the first to offer private consultations and clinical practice to individuals and groups, as well as being an information centre for enquiries.

The founders, Sharon McQuade and Vineta Lagzdina, are both registered music therapists who are committed to bringing the therapeutic benefits of music to people with special needs.
