Music for Children

Celebration Sing Out! grew from a shared passion of school music teachers for children's music education, and from the childhood hospital experiences of driving force, Mal Hewitt.
Members of the Collegiate are current or retired music education professionals. Their backgrounds are rich and varied: 
teachers in schools and studios, performers, conductors, composers, academics, administrators, leaders of educational and musical institutions, executives of the NSW Department of Education, and parents.
​We want it shouted (or sung) from the rooftops – that music, that most approachable and accessible of the Arts – is essential to any life of quality and meaning for every child.
​Most especially, for children who are very sick in hospital.

Advocacy

We want Australians to know that in the world's best and most successful education systems – intensive experience of children in music and other creative arts will make them healthier, happier and brighter.
