Double Donation Week – Give That They Can Play
From May 24–31, every dollar you donate to Music for All will be matched by the Phil Taylor Foundation—doubling your impact! This small grants program helps individuals, schools and community groups facing hardship access music. Over $60,000 in grants have already been distributed thanks to generous supporters. One recipient shared, “I was so excited to receive funding. I’ve been able to continue lessons for Term 1 2025. Music is my favourite thing in the world.” Your donation during Double Donation Week could change a life and help someone keep making music.
Our Partners
The support of our Partners allows Soundhouse Music Alliance to provide such an extensive and wide-ranging programme of grants and awards and we are very grateful for all their support.
A little bit about Soundhouse
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.
