Mt Hawthorn Primary School, WA

We have over 600 students at Mt Hawthorn PS and we are all thoroughly enjoying singing and grooving to "Come Play Your Part". This is the first year our school has been involved in Music: Count Us In and the children from Pre-primary to Year 7 and the Education Support Centre are looking forward to coming together on September 2nd to celebrate music. Many of the students are learning the song on recorder, xylophone, flute, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, violin and viola and many will play in front of the school on September 2nd, 2010.Some classes have seen the video of the songwriting process and this has been inspirational! We also enjoyed watching the video of "Come Play Your part" especially seeing Bobby sing the song. Thanks for the chance to be involved in such an exciting project!

“I'm overwhelmed by the way Music: Count Us In seems to tap the community’s imagination and leave such a legacy in schools. Teachers report their involvement directly leads to pro-music changes in attitudes and resources at their school and more students singing in choirs, playing in bands and orchestras, and giving music a go.”
John Foreman
Program Ambassador

Music learning is good for all students.
