Maybelle Wei

MA Music Therapy graduate. Maybelle works as a registered music therapist for the South Australian Department of Communities and Social Inclusion.

“As a musician I understood the power of music and my personal relationship with this creative medium. Undertaking the two-year training programme at Anglia Ruskin University was an enriching journey of discovering the potential of how music can be an agent of change, over time, between two people who meet in a room of instruments.

Upon qualifying I decided to move to Australia to explore working opportunities. I am currently working as a registered music therapist for the South Australian Department of Communities and Social Inclusion.
Working as a music therapist comes with many questions and unknowns, and requires much patience and belief, but in this profession I have started on a lifelong journey where creative possibilitiescan come alive at any moment. I feel blessed to have a set of skills which can be used to serve and share with people in need of meaningful and positive experiences in their lives.
Students and graduates who would like to enter this career should take the initiative and be proactive in seeking out working opportunities in a diversity of areas where music therapy can be applied. The more experiences you expose yourself to - before, during, and after training - the wider your scope and understanding will become of music, people and, most importantly, yourself.
