What to Expect
Soundmakrz is a vibrant weekly music program designed especially for young people in Years 7 to 10. It offers a safe and welcoming space where participants can build friendships, express their creativity, and develop their musical talents regardless of their experience or instrument.
Each session is led by professional musicians who guide participants through rehearsals, helping them gain confidence and discover the joy of making music together. This program is about more than just music; it fosters connection, creativity, and well-being.
