School Holiday Program

Explore. Create. Connect.

Polyphonic is a free school holiday music program designed for young people aged 12-17 who are interested in music. Over three days, participants will engage in 2-hour workshops facilitated by two Registered Music Therapists. 

Polyphonic is inclusive of all learners, and no prior musical experience is required. The program is supportive and collaborative, catering to a diverse range of learning styles. 

By the end of the 3 days, you will have learnt a variety of skills across different instruments and music technology tailored to your interest. You will also deepen your understanding of your creative process and how to bring your musical ideas to life. 

The program will help you to express yourself through music, develop instrument and technology skills, and support you to record and share your music.
