Services for Schools
Hosting the Little Musical Caravan
The Little Musical Caravan visits primary schools in the Porirua region and beyond. The caravan is a self-contained music studio and carries all the instruments, toys, sensory tools and resources that we need to run our music therapy sessions.
In the caravan, we offer individual one-on-one sessions to students with additional learning needs, or who may require therapy support for other reasons. Sometimes it is helpful to have TA support, depending on student needs, and sometimes we also involves the student’s peers in sessions.
To bring the Little Musical Caravan on school site we require:
- A level spot to park
- Access to electricity via a mains socket (we are fully RCD protected)
- Sufficient space to be able to turn and manoeuvre
- A minimum of 3 students requiring our individual services
Where it isn’t possible to bring the Little Musical Caravan onto school site, we may still be able to work with your students if you have a quiet space we can use without interruptions. It is also helpful if you have school instruments that your students can use in sessions, but we will be able to bring a limited number of instruments with us.

Additional services for schools
In addition to our individual on site sessions, we offer the following additional services for schools:
Group sessions
We can offer small group music therapy sessions at our host schools to support specific needs providing there is a space available for use.
Workshops
We can offer presentations and workshops about music therapy and how it can be used to support children in education settings.
Consultancy
We can offer consultancy services to help school teams learn how to use existing musical skills to support students in a therapeutic way.
