Music Monday - Happy New Year
/A happy new year to you all.
With almost all of our Australian music teachers currently on holiday, and with many, many families affected directly or indirectly by the unprecedented bushfires raging across our country, we thought that this Monday could be a time to consider how we might help families and school music communities who may have lost musical instruments and valuable resources at this time.
Of course, right now what is needed is immediate monetary and material relief and assistance - and it has been heartening to see so many Australians and indeed, compassionate people across the planet, responding with financial and other assistance.
But when the fires finally subside (and the experts are predicting it might be months) there will be children who no longer have an instrument and music teachers who have lost everything.
Perhaps you have an instrument gathering dust at the back of a cupboard? Could it have a new home with a young player?
