Your life supported by music.
Our Mission
Mood Indigo is all about supporting the overall health and well-being of the community, through music, in whatever capacity possible.
Participating in musical activities aren’t just for those who have had lessons or have “talent,” it should be something that everyone can access in way that suit them best.
There are so many ways to be musical and so many ways that this can help us to explore and express our genuine selves.
My name is Gabbi, and I’m the director of Mood Indigo Music Therapy.
Music has always been a part of my life but in very different ways. In the year after I finished high school, I became interested in writing music and went on to study a Bachelor of Music in Composition and Music Technology (Hon.) at WAAPA. This shaped the way I view and create music, both in making and performing it.
This lead me to get a Master of Music Therapy where I learned to think about music in a completely different way. Music is a special way to connect with and support others, something I wanted to be able to share. I am now a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) with the Australian Music Therapy Association (AMTA).
My experience has shown the benefit of music therapy for people of all ages and backgrounds:
Mothers and their babies attend a community group music workshop to learn ways to play and establish routines in their day-to-day lives.
A resident in aged care with Parkinson’s disease participating in a weekly listening session of favourite music to curb depression & social isolation.
Inpatient in mental health recovery singing & performing favourite songs for emotional expression & regulation, pleasure and connecting with meaningful supports.
Children in primary school with complex trauma embrace alternative forms of self-expression and build relationships through music.
Everyone has the ability to enjoy and benefit from being musical.
I’d love to make that a part of you or a loved one to become your favourite version of yourself.
