 This is an initiative all about celebrating the links between making music and feeling good!.
Over one week in May, more than 130 events involving more than 12,000 people, created an opportunity to raise awareness about the links between music making and wellbeing.
Anyone involved in making music! The 2008 events involved music therapists and other health professionals; community and professional musicians; teachers, pre-school, family and day care workers; aged care professionals, music store owners, community volunteers, disability service staff, workplace choirs and bands.
The list of people who coordinated events for 2008 includes:
- A senior high school student in Adelaide
- Music therapist at WA's Princess Margaret Hospital for Children
- Sydney Symphony Orchestra's 'Music4Health' coordinator
- A Northern Sydney Scouts and Cubs leader
- A school teacher on Christmas Island
