Lyric substitution is a simple and accessible way to create music without needing any musical training 🎶

It involves taking a familiar song and changing the words to match your current situation, feelings, or goals

It’s a tool we often use in Music Therapy, and if you want to learn more about it make sure you follow

Many people do this naturally…especially when motivating children, creating routines, or adding humour to everyday moments. Because the melody is already known, it feels safe and easy to engage with

When was the last time you really immersed yourself in play?
Sure, if you’re a parent…it might be something you do with your children often but it really is SO important not just for them, but also you 💖
Play is often seen as something we outgrow, but it remains essential for wellbeing at every stage of life
For adults, play offers a rare space to explore, experiment, and express without pressure or judgement. It supports…
✅creativity
✅reduces stress
✅allows the nervous system to reset
In Music Therapy, we provide a safe space for adults to explore play as a way to experiment, make mistakes, and explore sound in a way that supports emotional release, flexibility, and a deeper sense of connection with themselves and others.

Who loves a tailored and task specific Spotify playlist? 🙋🏼‍♀️
Music can be such a powerful motivator when it comes to getting things done 💪🏼
Familiar songs we enjoy can boost mood, energy, and focus, making tasks like chores or exercise feel less overwhelming
When you’re looking for the perfect playlist, matching the beat of the music to the activity matters…slower, steady rhythms work well for walking or gentle tasks, while faster tempos suit running, cleaning, or higher-energy movement
When the music matches your pace, your body naturally syncs to it, helping tasks feel smoother and easier to sustain!

Let’s break it down…

We start small. There’s no blank page pressure and no expectation to be “creative” straight away.

First, we talk about what you want to express…a feeling, a moment, or a goal 💪🏼

Next, we choose a familiar structure or melody so the music already feels safe and predictable. From there, we gently shape words, rhythms, or sounds together, one step at a time 🎶

You don’t need talent or musical training to write a song, just curiosity and a willingness to explore. The song doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be meaningful to you.

Registered Music Therapists (RMTs) are trained to guide this process safely and intentionally, supporting expression, regulation, and connection at every step.

Have you heard of rhythmic entrainment?
Keeping it simple, it’s the way our bodies naturally sync to rhythm 🎶
When we hear a steady beat, our breathing, heart rate, and movement often begin to match it without us trying.
This is why slow, steady music can help us feel calmer, while faster music can energise us. Our nervous system responds to rhythm first, before logic or language, making music a powerful tool for regulation, grounding, and emotional support across all ages.

It’s not the only myth I hear about music therapy, but it’s one I’d love to clear up!
Music therapy isn’t about talent, performance, or getting things “right.”
It’s about how the brain and nervous system respond to sound, rhythm, and vibration… something we’re all wired for, regardless of musical ability.

You don’t need to sing in tune, read music, or play an instrument. In fact, many people who say “I’m not musical” benefit deeply from music therapy because the focus isn’t on skill, it’s on experience.

Music therapy works because:
🎶 Rhythm supports regulation and predictability
🎶 Melody supports emotional expression and connection
🎶 Sound engages multiple areas of the brain at once
These responses happen automatically…just like how your body responds to a heartbeat or a familiar voice.
