Created by Tessa Ann of The Sound Spa, Magical Sounds is a sensory-friendly sound and story experience designed to invite children and families into gentle listening, creativity, and sound exploration.

Rather than offering therapy or prescriptive outcomes, these resources provide playful, flexible ways for children to engage with sound — supporting curiosity, imagination, and a positive relationship with listening at their own pace.

Children may choose to listen quietly, play with sounds, explore instruments, or create their own soundscapes using everyday objects, guided by their individual preferences and comfort levels.

Magical Sounds is designed to be adaptable and child-led, allowing sound to be explored in ways that feel safe, calming, or simply fun.

Who these resources are for

Magical Sounds is suitable for:

Parents and caregivers
Families and guardians
Early years practitioners and educators
Children and young people who enjoy gentle, sensory-friendly experiences

No prior musical experience is needed, and there is no “right way” to use these resources.
