Emerging musicians up to 25 years are invited to PLUG IN and take part in a new music mentorship taking place from 4 August to 15 September.
PLUG IN provides them access to tailored creative and industry development facilitated by leading music professionals, venues, festivals and industry organisations.
Young musicians will be immersed in a six week-long program of one-on-one and small group workshops tailored towards the specific area of interest of the participants. One-on-one sessions include songwriting, vocal and instrumental development, stagecraft and performance. Emerging musicians will also engage in weekly small group workshops focusing on the business of being a musician led by music industry professionals.
Creative Arts Alliance manager Katie Edmiston said the program was an exciting opportunity for local young musicians to learn new skills and grow their industry networks.
“We have pulled together a stellar line up of mentors from blues, rock, pop, country and hip hop who will be guiding the participants throughout the program,” she said
Plug In mentor Amy Bryant said she was amazed at the growth of our young local musicians through these programs.
“They are building confidence in their craft, gaining industry knowledge and feeling supported by their community thanks to Creative Arts Alliance,” she said.
Applications for the program will close on 19 July. Visit caa.creativealliance.org.au/plug-in/
