Join the 2010 program!
With support from The Australian Government Music: Count Us In 2010 is now in full swing!
The program links primary and secondary schools, from the Kimberleys to Campbelltown, in Australia’s biggest music gig! Why? To create a nationwide celebration of the value of music education for ALL students.
Sign up to take part here.
The culminating performance date this year is Thursday,
2nd September 2010, 11.30 am AEST.
This year nine high school students from around the country were flown in to work with mentor musicians, Audius, Paul Greene, Melinda Schneider and Program Ambassador, John Foreman to come up with the 2010 Song. They'd never met each other before and, for most, it was their first experience of co-writing. How did they go? You can be the judge, by listening to this year's program song, 'Come Play Your Part', as well as the two supplementary songs, here!
