Deadly Music at Hume Con
Exploring Culture and Music 2024
A group of aboriginal young people, some of whom had never played music before, joined Hume Conservatorium, grow the Music and Dizzy Doolan (cairns) at The Con for a week of songwriting and recording. Eight Aboriginal youths, aged 12 to 16, split into two groups and wrote and recorded two original songs. These will be produced and possibly released on music channels. The week-long workshop was part of Grow the Music, a program aimed at Aboriginal youth aged 12 to eighteen.
The youths were mentored by Grow the Music founder and director, Liz Rutten and First Nations Hip Hop artist, singer and actor, Dizzy Doolan. The initiative was aimed at opening doors to those who hadn’t previously experienced the facility. The workshop was funded by the Office of Regional Youth Holiday Break Program.
“We are wrapt with its success,” Ms Newbury said. “To have two original pieces of music produced in a week by young people, most of whom had never picked up an instrument before, is phenomenal. These kids are going home successful.”
