A Music Therapy Adventure and Respite Programme
15 Mar
10.30am – 11.30am
Meeting and end point: The Salon, Level 1
SGD 10 per group comprising 1 child and up to 2 caregivers (incl. GST). Suitable for children with special needs aged 12 years and below.
This programme offers two parallel music workshops – one for children, and another for caregivers – facilitated by music therapists from the Association for Music Therapy, Singapore and inspired by our SG60 special exhibition, Once Upon a Tide.
For children: Row, Sing, Explore
Participants will engage in a multisensory experience that promotes social-emotional skills, joint attention and motor coordination. This includes singing, movement activities and instrumental play, inviting the children to imagine and create soundscapes related to different groups of migrant workers featured in the exhibition.
For caregivers: My Home and Journey
Ground yourself and relax through breathing exercises and playing musical instruments, and take the opportunity to reflect on your caregiving journey.
Important notes
- Please bring your own earmuffs or headphones if your child is sensitive to loud sounds.
- 1 caregiver is recommended to stay with the child for the children’s workshop, while the other caregiver attends the caregiver’s workshop. Please prepare your child accordingly if he/she will be attending the children’s workshop on his/her own.
