Atitjere community welcomed the Sing It Up program. Will Cheesman joined the team delivering Stream 1 sporting activities with focus on re-engaging and mentoring of at risk youth. Rodney Mitchell worked with the middle school delivering Stream 2 to the boys and girls at Harts Range School. Stream 2 develops literacy skills using songwriting and music craft, the middle school class performed the song they wrote in class at the community concert. Matt Hill from Batchelor Institute instructed many of the communities men in certified music industry training. They learnt how to look after the music gear, set it up properly and get the best sound out of it. The highlight for all involved was when Ben Pope a 70 year old man signed up for the course, the icing on the cake was when he performed his original songs at the community concert. photos and words by Matty Day - CAAMA team leader.
