Soundhouse aims to help schools, teachers, community members and musicians alike make the best use of the emerging music technologies, and thus become creators of music rather than passive consumers.
The vision of such a facility was inspired by the late Geoff Brash AM, and Martin Carlson OAM. This original Soundhouse was supported in its early growth by a range of industry companies including Roland, Yamaha, Tascam, Teac, Kawai and TDK, but went on to become an integral part of Arts Centre Melbourne education and community access programming.
