Rockin’ Our Abilities’ Sonia McMahon with drummer Jarrod Edwards, from near Proston<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 16, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s a bunch of musicians – and budding musicians – who are really “rockin” at Murgon on Thursdays.<\/p>\n

The “Rockin Our Abilities” group, led by Sonia McMahon, meets at the Uniting Church Hall in Gore Street from 9:00am to 1:00pm during school terms.<\/p>\n

Sonia told southburnett.com.au<\/strong>\u00a0she has worked with a similar music program for people with disabilities on the Sunshine Coast, and recognised there was a gap in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

“I was part of the music program at Sunshine Butterflies and put together their show for family and friends,” she said.<\/p>\n

“There were so many magic moments and that’s when I knew I could do it here.”<\/p>\n

The participants have a lot of fun while they are playing along to videos or singing karaoke.<\/p>\n

Drummer Jarrod Edwards – who also plays in Proston group “Miss Matched” – keeps everyone in time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carers and relatives also join in the fun.<\/p>\n

“We use YouTube videos and everyone gets to choose their own song,” Sonia said.<\/p>\n

“But there’s no pressure to sing or perform. We do a lot of lip syncing!”<\/p>\n

For more information, ring Sonia on 0427-137-140.<\/p>\n
