Just Brass
Port Macquarie
The concept is simple, free instruments and free lessons.
Many kids don't have a chance to learn music in school even though it has been shown that music education has the potential to help improve a child's academic performance and overall well being in school.
Just Brass has identified a need and has developed this program with the aim of transforming young lives through music.
Teaching the performing arts in Primary School significantly boosts the results disavantaged students achieve in academic subjects.
