We did it!

All around Australia, hundreds of thousands of students, parents and families performed the song 'The Music is Everything' at the same time. The music and singing rang out in primary and secondary schools, from the Kimberleys to Campbelltown! Why? To create a nationwide celebration of the value of music education for ALL students.

Music. Count Us In event in Canberra with Arts Minister, Peter Garrett, John Foreman and 2000 children outside Parliament House!  Footage of the events held in Sydney and Melbourne will follow shortly.
