Mixed Abilities Program
Group music sessions for adults with disability
Our Mixed Abilities Program is an on-going weekly 90-minute group session designed for adults with disability to get involved in music. Engaging with various genres and instruments from different cultures, experienced musicians and Registered Music Therapists support participants to sing, dance, play instruments, and make music together.
Participants of the Mixed Abilities Program have the opportunity to creatively express themselves, develop coordination, increase focus, improve social interactions and boost confidence. It is a fun, inclusive and dynamic space to look forward to every week.
** Participants attend these group sessions with their support workers, who are expected to play an active role in the class.

If you have self-managed or plan-managed NDIS funding, we encourage you to have a conversation with your NDIS support coordinator. They can guide you on how to use your funding to pursue your goals in music and community participation.
Music for Canberra offers programs that support these objectives and can provide the information you need to make informed decisions. If your NDIS funding is NDIA-managed, please remember that you can only access services through NDIS-registered providers. We suggest speaking with your provider about the possibility of joining Music for Canberra programs and exploring options to support your participation.
At Music for Canberra, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities through music and community engagement. We strive to make our programs accessible to all, and NDIS funding may be a valuable resource to help you or your loved ones become actively involved in our inclusive music activities.
