So, the next adventure of our lives begins in 2017! 

I have accepted a job in a Remote South Australian school from January 2017 as THE music teacher! I'll be heading up there with my super-wife Amanda, and will be joined in February by our soon-to-be-born daughter (whose tentative name is Elquimo).

With Elquimo still tucked inside Amanda's belly, we went to visit the school in October to meet the staff and students, and also to see what resources the school has, and what I might need to organise for next year. Amanda and I were pleasantly surprised by what the school already has to offer music-wise, but in order to build on this for next year, we need YOUR help!

With your donation, we will be able to purchase brand new instruments suitable for students of all ages. Complementing the marimbas, glockenspiels and keyboards already at the school, having ukuleles and guitars will appeal to the more senior students, inspiring them to continue with their music studies. Recorder is already well-established at the school, so we want to continue this program, having enough recorders for everybody.

100% of the funds (minus pozible fees) will be used solely for the purchasing of musical instruments and accessories.

The target of $1,500 will cover a class set of guitars as well as an assortment of ukuleles, recorders, kazoos and music books. If we are fortunate enough to raise more than the target, potentially we can buy better than just the 'base model' of guitar, more of them, extra strings etc. Rest assured that all the money, however much we receive, will go towards instruments or accessories directly benefitting the students.

There are no hugely challenging challenges. All the money raised, much or little, will be used to purchase instruments. If we only raise a little, that will all still go towards instruments.

If we raise $1,000,000, the challenge will be on how to spend it all...
