The music room at the Fitzroy Computer Clubhouse is just one of the many spaces where clubhouse members can learn by creating and express themselves in a positive and creative way.
Through the introduction of the music room space, to the kind donation of a keyboard, microphone and other music room equipment, youth have been able to tell their stories, experiences and feelings through music with the support of adult mentors.
The music room will now enter another stage of development through a grant offered by the The Readings Foundation. This grant will enable us to soundproof the studio, make the floor more stable and have proper ventilation so the room is available for use all year round. This project has been supported by The Readings Foundation.
At the Computer Clubhouse members create and tell stories using a myriad of mediums. On an average day you may come in to see some young people filming using green screen, another member working on a robot, and a group of young people working on their vocal harmonies in the music studio accompanied by an adult mentor on the keyboard. Thanks to the generous support of the The Readings Foundation, we will be able to continue to support the members as they follow their passions, by updating the music studio to make it a safe and creative space for all.
Thank you to the The Readings Foundation for their support and we look forward to sharing some of the member’s work with you soon!
