Camboon Primary School, WA

At Camboon Primary School, we have a dedicated music specialist who teaches music to all years from 1-7. Every class has watched the videos on the website and have been amazed at the talented high school students who wrote the songs. Some children have even been practicing the songs on their computer at home! For Music Count Us In 2010 (our first time entering), we are putting on a concert, including performers from our school and performers from a local high school. We’re going to have piano duets, guitar groups, our choir and small singing group, recorders and the whole school singing Come Play Your Part and Ourselves Together. We’ve invited local council members, the administration from our local shopping centre and the residents from our local nursing home. What started out quite small has turned into something big. We are all really looking forward to it. We can’t wait!

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.
