MUSIC HEALTH AUSTRALIA - DOING, BEING, BECOMING MORE ACTIVELY ENGAGED
Music Health Australia is a professional service that helps communities to manage their own music heritage and culture.
Music Health Australia supports and enables communities to become more active in music making. Read more about "Doing, Being, Becoming More Active through taking part in Community-Based Museum Scenarios."
The Music Health Australia service is unique to Australia because we customise music and health projects to support community organisations in metropolitan, rural and remote areas. Music Health Australia was the first service to implement the socio-ecological approach to musicking, developed through Sandra Kirkwood's action research on "Frameworks for culturally engaged community music practice in rural Ipswich, Australia" (Kirkwood, 2009).

LATEST MUSIC PROJECT: TRACKING THE MILKY WAY

Visit the Gunawirra Kids and Good Hearts online and share with us in learning about song, dance and music making with our teachers, friends and family.
