St Macartan's School, Mornington, VIC

Our 1/2 children (5 classes of 30) are excitedly getting ready for September first- they LOVE the song and keep asking to sing it! They are learning to play it on boomwhackers, chime bars, chorus bells and untuned percussion too! We have a grade two boy learning a simple drumming beat ... we will be performing it for the school and parents- that’s us from peaceful Mornington!

“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.
