In the spirit of reconciliation Musica Viva In Schools acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging: people who have sung their songs, danced their dances and told their stories on these lands for thousands of generations, and we extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Musica Viva In Schools has been bringing high quality live music to Australian schools for more than 40 years, and is one of the leading and most trusted providers of music education in Australia. Our vision is to enhance children’s appreciation of music and boost their creativity. We do this by connecting the best Australian performers directly with schools live and online: interactive, dynamic and culturally diverse groups that perform in a wide variety of musical styles. We support teachers with the tools to teach music in their classroom, and encourage their students to discover the power of live music. Musica Viva In Schools reaches students and teachers in all corners of our nation’s states and territories, providing year-round opportunities for engagement.

Colours of Home
Taking Shape
Painting with sound
Create and compose
Colours of Home invites students into the vibrant world of oboist Celia Craig, who experiences Chromesthesia – where sound evokes an involuntary experience of colour. Celia joins forces with guitarist Caspar Hawksley to deepen students’ understanding of music through colour and mood.
