Are you a drummer? Does your school need an upgrade to its percussion studio? Yamaha Music Australia has announced its 2025 Great Start Grant program, which supports school music programs across the country with four $10,000 grants.

The aim of the grant is to provide and upgrade the tools schools need to inspire young musicians and create a vibrant culture of music education. This year, Yamaha is focusing on the drum and percussion studio, and each winning school will receive a tailored selection of Yamaha drum and percussion instruments.

Professor Rob McWilliams, Education Outreach Clinician, chats with The Big Brekky team about the 5 year running program.

To apply for the Great Start Grant, visit their website, and apply by 15 April 2025.
