School holidays are usually a time for students to take a break from learning, but for a group of young Wyndham musicians, they’re using it to further their education.
The On Track music workshops are currently being held at Werribee Secondary College until September 22, allowing budding musicians to polish their skills, express their creativity and learn from established artists.
An initiative of Mushroom Music Group, the On Track program provides free workshops to students which feature music education, song-writing and demo recording through to DJing and performing with other likeminded young people.
On Track program manager Catherine Bartholomew said since their inception in 2018, interest in the workshops has continued to grow.
“It has filled a gap for students who are eager and hungry to further their interest in learning more about music and performance during the school holiday period,“ said Ms Bartholomew.
“We see students regularly returning to On Track, sometimes at back to back programs, who are showing tremendous progress and development each time they attend.“
It is the first time the program has been held in Wyndham and Ms Bartholomew said they had been inundated with registrations from students in the area, especially girls.
