Want to stop scrolling music this school holidays and actually make some?

Whether you’re already writing and creating music or have never picked up an instrument, this program has plenty for everyone.

Across three days, you’ll explore instruments, music tech and songwriting, work alongside other young people, and bring your ideas to life with support from two registered Music Therapists.

And to top it all off, there’ll be a live concert on April 11 where participants can share what they’ve created.
Choose from two Newcastle/Hunter locations.

📍 Shortland (Play Anything Music Therapy)
📍 Cessnock (CYCOS)
📅 April 8–10, 2026
🎶 2-hour sessions each day

We welcome young people with disability and are committed to making this a genuinely inclusive space.
