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. 

Over the past 7 years we've worked with communities from Coober Pedy, South Australia to Arnhem Land in far east Northern Territory. This year we're embarking on a Kimberley adventure into Western Australia. We'll be visiting communities to run concerts, music lessons and songwriting workshops. Along the way we'll be donating instruments so kids can continue to make music in between our visits. We'll be taking a small team of professional musicians and music teachers to train remote school students in guitar, bass, keyboard, vocals and drums. 

We'd like to thank this years generous sponsors for their valued support:

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
