resound bushfire appeal for instruments

The Music Council of Australia "Resound" program, in partnership with the Dandenong Ranges Music Council, is organising donations of musical instruments to musicians of all ages and ability who have lost instruments in the recent Victorian bushfires. They have received many offers of instruments but want to make sure that real need is met with good quality instruments, suited to the musicians who will be using them.

To fill the need satisfactorily, an application form has been set up for those needing their musical instrument/s replaced. The form is only accessible through the email link below. Whether the lost instrument was a $30 uke or a violin worth thousands, we know how important it is to get people playing again quickly, so this is an appeal designed to match ALL needs, great and small.

If you have lost a musical instrument due to the fires, please click on the link http://www.mca.org.au/resoundbushfireappeal to fill out the form.

If you know of someone who has been affected in this way, please forward this information to them so that they can access the form.

All applications will be considered and it’s intended to start replacing instruments as soon as possible.

If you have a spare instrument kicking around gathering dust, perhaps it’s time to donate it to this most worthy cause.
