About us

Play and Learn, being a sub brand of Healing Voices, is created by Australian Registered Music Therapist Bettina Wan, who specialised in early intervention and child development. Play and Learn strives to create and develop learning materials and music making materials for young children that target their development in different aspects, including cognitive, communication, social, motor, and emotional development.

Healing Voices Play and Learn products are popular among early childhood teachers and parents because of its child-friendly nature in introducing music making to children, making music jamming so easy and engaging!

Hello!

I’m Bettina Wan, an Australian Registered Music Therapist and the founder of Healing Voices Music Education & Therapy Centre and the product creator Play & Learn by Healing Voices.

Through my work with children, I’ve seen how music and play can create meaningful opportunities to learn, communicate, move, interact and build confidence.

Play & Learn grew from a simple idea:

How can I turn what I know into practical, playful resources that make learning easier and more enjoyable for children?

It All Started During COVID

Play & Learn wasn’t something I originally planned to build.

When therapy sessions and classes were suspended during COVID, much of my usual work suddenly had to stop.

I found myself wondering:

“How else could I use my skills and knowledge to contribute?”

So I started creating.

I began turning ideas from my professional experience into colourful, easy-to-use learning resources for children, families and professionals.

There was no big business plan. I simply wanted to create something useful.

Why I Create

Children don’t all learn in the same way.

Sometimes a colour, picture, movement, song or game can make something that seems difficult suddenly feel more achievable.

That’s the thinking behind Play & Learn.

From colourful music resources and learning tools to social-emotional resources, I create products that make learning more visual, engaging and accessible.

My background as a Registered Music Therapist continues to shape how I create — thinking not only about what a child can learn, but how we can help them participate, enjoy the experience and feel successful.

🎵 Make learning engaging

🌈 Make concepts easier to understand

💛 Help children experience “I can do this.”

And We’re Still Creating…

Today, Play & Learn continues to create resources for children, families, educators and professionals — bringing together music, learning, development and play.

Our products may look different from one another, but they all come back to the same idea that started this journey:

Create something useful.

Make learning meaningful.

Help children experience: “I can do this.”

I also share ideas and reflections from my work as a music therapist, children’s songwriter and resource creator — from child development and music activities to the stories behind the resources I create.
