Music can have a strong effect on our emotions. It can therefore be a powerful tool for teaching the Cuddly Koalas how to soothe themselves and regulate their emotions. These skills play an important role in problem-solving and learning in all stages of life. By breathing deeply and relaxing, we are modelling for the Cuddly Koalas what ‘calm’ looks and feels like. We can further their understanding by verbally describing how their bodies might feel (relaxed, loose, easy) in this state.
