Song Room
http://www.songroom.org.au/

The Song Room is a national not for profit organisation that provides free, tailored, long-term music and arts-based programs for children in disadvantaged and high need communities.

The Song Room vision is that all Australian children have the opportunity to participate in music and the arts to enhance their education, personal development and community involvement. Programs are based on research and have been demonstrated to improve educational and social outcomes and to help schools sustain their own music and arts programs.

The Song Rooms delivers its programs to around 250 schools and communities each year and works with over 20,000 children every week. Programs are targeted to schools in the most marginalised communities from every State / Territory of Australia, from the 700,000 children in schools without specialist teachers in the arts.

Who do we help?

The Song Room provides tailored programs to disadvantaged children, who would otherwise miss out, including:

Socio-economically disadvantaged school communities
Indigenous communities both in urban and remote rural regions
Young people with health and disability challenges
New arrivals with English as a second language
Disengaged children with behavioural problems or in areas of high juvenile crime
Early intervention programs for children (0-5 years) and parents in disadvantaged areas
Geographically isolated and remote schools

Why is The Song Room unique?

The Song Room provides programs to over 40,000 children each year, but what makes The Song Room different is that the programs are:

free to schools, targeting only the most disadvantaged communities
long-term to achieve broader educational and social impact
tailored to particular school/community requirements
building community capacity for long-term sustainability
based around a range of music and arts media
developed to be integrated across the curriculum, and
enhanced through partnerships with like minded organisations
