journey, or it needs a top up, check out our new More Music Toolkit where

you'll find lots of ideas to help start and improve music education in your

CELEBRITY SPOTLIGHT

Music has always been a very important part of my life and I commend the extension of this magnificent pursuit to all Australian children.

John Symond

I’ve sung and played guitar for many years and it has always provided me with an avenue for fun and friendships outside the high pressure life as a professional footballer.

Russell Robertson

Music has been such an important part of each of our lives and has been a constant companion in our relationship as father and daughter.

John Williamson and Ami Williamson

What I’m trying to do in connecting two cultures (indigenous and western classical) is show that music is music. Forget all the notes on paper!

William Barton

Music has always been a major part of our lives.

Shane & Brett Lee

Apart from the school choir and a couple of piano lessons as a child, I have had no musical training, yet music is my life.
