Making music being well week 12-18 May

The many benefits of active music making are under the spotlight this week during ‘Making Music Being Well’, a week-long series of events taking place in different settings all over

Australia. 

This is a second-time collaboration between

Australia‘s campaign to encourage more music making, ‘Music. Play for Life’ and the Australian Music Therapy Association, to celebrate the links between wellbeing and active music making.

All around

Australia events are taking place to help inspire more Australians to think about the benefits of making music and to get them singing or playing instruments.

They include a performance by a group of recorder players – each in his eighties – singalongs in shopping malls,  jam sessions in nursing homes, community and professional orchestras playing together for the first time, and even a hospital staff kazoo choir.

It’s a great big musical celebration of the power of music to connect, heal and energise.
