About Me

My name is Rebecca Fairless. I am a music therapist and singer-songwriter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am part of folk group The Dusty Halos.

Music Therapy

I am a certified music therapist (MTA), with a Bachelor of Music Therapy degree from Acadia University (2017) and membership in the Canadian Association for Music Therapy.

Using music as a map, I help clients find pathways to self-expression, empathy, healing, and connection.

I currently offer the following:

  • Music With Babies & Bops With Tots: an interactive music group for young children and their caregivers

  • Adapted music lessons: lessons that combine both musical and therapeutic goals, tailored to the special needs of the student

  • Customized individual and group music therapy sessions for clients of all ages

Songwriter

I’ve been writing and performing my own music for over a decade, and have played at such festivals as Full Circle Festival, Deep Roots Music Festival, and Nowadays Festival. I perform with folk group The Dusty Halos.
