If you would like to support a budding musician who doesn’t have the means or access to buy an instrument, donate one today! We accept any instrument that is in good, playable condition.
We appreciate all instruments great and small. It means so much to the people we work with to be able to access quality instruments and where needed, to be gifted with a new instrument. The GTM recording studio in Coffs Harbour, may also benefit from your donation where we are offering pro bono recording sessions to musicians and artists experiencing disadvantage.
We are looking for volunteers to help us out with our pro-bono clients at our GTM Studio, as well as accompanying us out to a remote community for one of our programs.
"Grow the Music are, in my opinion, the most amazing trainers I have worked with and the outcomes they achieve are brilliant. They take young people way beyond where they ever expected to go. Anyone who engages Grow the Music will see the magic they weave."
