Young Lives
Through Music
Play your part
Imagine a world without music.
Playing music is one of the only activities that stimulates, and utilises the entire brain.
Despite its many cognitive, emotional, and behavioural benefits for children – the majority of Australian public school students do not have access to a specialist music teacher.
In 2002, singer-songwriter and popular children’s entertainer, Don Spencer, OAM, founded the Australian Children’s Music Foundation with a mission to change that.
The ACMF believes that EVERY CHILD deserves access to a life-changing music education.
