It’s about finding what works for each person or group of people.

What kinds of sessions and how long?

Shari provides weekly sessions, same time, same place. The kind of session and how long depends on you:
  • Individual session, usually 30 minutes
  • Group session: recommended 2 - 5 people for 45 - 60 minutes; 6 - 10 people for 60 minutes
  • Half/full day at a facility, including a combination of group and/or individual sessions, as negotiated
Sessions are held weekly - this is an important part of the therapeutic process. In certain circumstances sessions might be offered as a one-off or block of sessions, or on a fortnightly basis.​

How do I know if Shari's the right fit for me?

  • To get an idea of what music therapy with Shari is like, you might like to first meet and make some music with Shari, and talk about what might work. It might be a one-time consultation, or block of assessment sessions.
  • If you, or an organisation you are part of, are interested in hearing more about music therapy Shari is also able to offer presentations and experiential workshops.
