Collarts Workshops

Collarts are well known as one of the go-to spots to gain music knowledge and education in the Melbourne area, but it’s not limited to Melbourne residents. Aside from offering a variety of courses, Collarts have just announced a range of free, exclusive music and audio workshops for students in year 12 or higher.
The workshops could see you working alongside Ella Hooper, recording your music, learning how to release your own music or an intro on “making beats” with Ableton Live. These are invaluable skills and at the cost of nothing, you’d be silly not to take Collarts up on the offer!
