Mr Merlino launched the Music in Schools instrument grants program at River Gum Primary School, in Hampton Park, which is eligible for a grant of up to $5000 for musical instruments under the program.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Education James Merlino
“Research shows exposure to music education results in better grades, better results and better attendance.”
“We’ll bring music lessons to every Victorian school and we’ll help them with the cost of instruments and training because no child should miss out.”
