Brimbank residents are being encouraged to hit the high notes of connection, or tune into a new hobby by signing up for local music-focused community groups.
A number of clubs in the area are looking for musicians to come on-board, and according to Community Music Victoria’s Jane York, joining those groups is a perfect way to do something joyful and “heart-filling“.
“Music making is for everybody and regular participation in group music making is hugely beneficial to your health, well-being and connection to your local community,” she said.
“Powerful relationships are formed by playing and singing together and it just makes you feel good.”
In Brimbank and surrounds, interested people can join the Suavis Community Choir, the Brimbank Multicultural Community Choir or the Sydenham Community Choir.
If you’d prefer playing an instrument, then you could fit right into either the Sunshine Community Brass Incorporate or Ardeer’s MMG Concert Band Of Victoria – both of which are accepting new members.
For something different, the Sunshine Street Band is a small group of mixed-ability players of portable acoustic instruments, like brass, saxophones, and percussion and welcome those who love to perform at local events.
“Whether you’re a total beginner and have never played or sung in a group before, or it’s been a long time between fa la la’s, there’s a friendly local group just waiting for you to walk through the door, pull up a chair and join in the fun,” Ms York said.
