Music Give Life is an Australian Organisation that offers music mentoring, delivers musical instruments and education programs to remote communities in Outback Australia and also impoverished communities in Ethiopia. 

Together our two projects Instruments For the Outback and Instruments For Ethiopia have raised more than $70,000 to get instruments and music teaching into remote communities.

Over the past 9 years we've worked with desert communities, in the islands of Arnhem Land, the East Kimberleys and the red centre. This year we'll be heading back to Alice Springs for a second year running to work with Yirara College, an Aboriginal boarding school in Australia's Northern Territory. We'll be helping to run performances, music lessons and songwriting workshops for beginner to advanced young Indigenous musicians.

Our aim is to provide pathways to strong musical futures for young people through education, resources and positive role models. 

Along the way we'll be donating instruments so kids can continue to make music in between our visits. We'll be taking a team of six professional musicians and music teachers to train school students in guitar, bass, keyboard, vocals and drums.

    Beat this!

    Today we've purchased 5 new Djembes to be shipped up to Alice Springs for our upcoming trip to Yirara College this August. Did you know these drums come all the way from Ghana in West Africa? That's where the best tone woods are found. The get skinned with real animal hide here in Australia and end up in the hands of our awesome young students, ready to master some new rhythms and beats. Its a simple acoustic instrument, but its been consistently a favourite with students in remote areas, especially musical games like 'Simon Says' and 'Pass The Beat' - a musical form of chinese whispers. We can't wait to be doing drum circles with the kids up in Alice Springs and to share with you all of our stories.  Thanks for your support this year, Levi
