Music for Change Inc.

Music for Change Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation founded in July 2013 by Melbourne based singer Sandra Bell.

During Sandra’s childhood, music had a profound impact on her life and gave her a sense of identity and purpose during difficult times.

The musical opportunities that were given to her at that time fueled her passion for singing. Whilst on a volunteering trip to Uganda in September 2012, she realised what impact musical opportunities can have on a child’s life.

With her lifelong passion for music and first-hand experience of the real difference one person can make in a community, Sandra set about forming a music related NFP dedicated to providing assistance to voice or instrument (music) students - predominantly under the age of 18 - who show particular talent in a music related field who are also considered financially disadvantaged.

Such assistance may be in the form of financial support for tuition or purchase of an instrument. The board of Music for Change Australia Inc. is dedicated to thoroughly assessing each application on a case by case basis and making a decision on how best to assist that student.

The motto for Music for Change is ‘Make real change to make change real’. Our board is comprised of people with who believe that music can bring about an amazing transformation and know that it can often be the one great thing in a persons’ life.

We welcome applications for support from all areas of the community including teachers, choirs, community groups and music schools. Applications are to be sent via email to: musicforchange13@gmail.com or PO Box 50, Reservoir vic 3073 and must address all selection criteria, stated within the submission guidelines which you can request at anytime.

We rely on funding via donations, raffles, entertainment events and other fundraising initiatives. If you can help us, we’d love to hear from you!
