Our vision is to increase music participation in Australia
9 in 10 Australians listen to music, but only 1 in 10 Australians have access to creating music.
We create instruments, phone apps, experiences and learning environments that empower people to create and perform music.
We do this work with 3 communities:
Focus group 1
Younger and older Australians
Young people under 16 · People over the age of 65
Focus group 2
Australians with physical disabilities
People who traditional instruments aren’t accessible to
Focus group 3
Australians without access to instruments
People facing socio-economic barriers
