We Can All Make Music.
The (not-so missing)
links
Here are 550, mainly Victorian,
websites you may find useful or interesting. We guarantee there are
mistakes. Please let us know when you come
across bloopers and gaps. (Most recently updated: 3rd September 2008.)
A variety of
community music groups and organisations are listed, including:
Instrumental
groups and sessions
Others.
See also our
separate listings of:
community music around the world
web-based repertoire sources
film interpretations of people singing together.
You might also
like to browse through the thousand plus links we've put together in musical science and research. While not
specifically focused on community music, this material provides a base for many
of the arguments put forward on this site.
If all that's a bit overwhelming, you might like to browse just the most recent
new research and reports we've found, or you
could check out the Music
Council of Australia's Guide to Australian Research which is a good place
to find useful summaries and links.
