Jane Lau is a music educator and inclusive music practitioner who creates meaningful musical experiences across ages and abilities. Her journey with music began in childhood through piano, school band and church choir, alongside early friendships that showed her the importance of connection and inclusion. These experiences shaped her belief that music can be a bridge, bringing people together, supporting self-expression and nurturing confidence.
Jane holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music and has 17 years of teaching experience. Her work spans early childhood, inclusive education, community music, intergenerational programmes and programmes for older adults, including persons living with Parkinson’s disease. She is trained in the Orff and Kodály approaches, which she draws upon to create multisensory, participatory programmes that respond to the needs and strengths of each group.
She currently serves as an Artist-in-School under the National Arts Council and as an adjunct lecturer at the National Institute of Early Childhood Development. Through Small Songs Studio, she has designed and facilitated programmes including Small Songs for Special Hearts, Small Songs, Shared Hearts: Across Generations and Small Songs of Inspiring Stories.
In 2026, Jane was invited to present an interactive workshop at the NAFA Ageing Artfully Conference, where she shared her approach to using music to foster connection, participation and a sense of contribution among older adults.
Her practice is centred on relationships, responsiveness and creating space for every individual to contribute. Through Small Songs Studio, Jane continues to champion music as a medium for inclusion, reflection and joy.
