Music: Count Us In 2015

Music: Count Us In (MCUI) is Australia’s biggest school initiative, with more than 500,000 participating students from over 2,100 schools nationwide. Growing in reach and impact since 2007, MCUI exists to support teachers to deliver music in the classroom, addressing a lack of training and experience in this specialist area. Music Matters has collaborated with MCUI for 4 years now, working with local animators to bring to life the song through animation. This year we worked with Bailey Sharp to animate “Gold” for 2015

“Music Count Us In plays such a vital role in bringing the joy of music to school children around the country. Kids should have the opportunity to be involved in music at an early age, and this program does that. We want lots more schools to sign up to MCUI, to spread the word that music opens doors and creates opportunities for everyone.”
