We are delighted to introduce Sarah Stewart who will be joining the ELM team at the end of August 🌳 🎶

Sarah Stewart is a music therapist and pianist who graduated with a Master’s in Music Therapy from Queen Margaret University in 2025, following a Music MA at the University of Glasgow. She is experienced working with children, young people, and adults in ASN schools, as well as with people with autism and additional support needs. For several years, she has also been involved in community music, leading inclusive music-making projects for people of all ages.

Sarah is passionate about person-centred practice and at the heart of her work is a commitment to creating safe, supportive, and creative spaces where individuals feel heard, valued, and can freely express themselves through music.

🎶 🌳 In our music therapy sessions, we use a range of resources to ensure activities are engaging and tailored to each client’s needs.

One resource Nadine has used with her clients is the book Wild Symphony, which introduces a variety of animals, each representing a different instrument from the orchestral family. The book is supported by an accompanying app that plays a different orchestral piece for each animal and instrument. This creates a multi-sensory experience by combining storytelling, visuals, and music, helping clients explore and recognise different orchestral sounds.

Using resources such as this supports engagement, encourages active listening, and allows clients to interact with music in a creative and accessible way. 🐭🐘🦛
