Music can heal, uplift and even transform lives but the people who need it most often have the least access to it. That is where A Sound Life comes in - we do all the legwork to make it easy for you to simply turn up and perform your music either live over Zoom or directly to patients by their bedside in hospitals. Our next Musician Training Day is happening on Sunday, April 28 from 10am-3pm at Together2, Rozelle in Sydney and via Zoom.

Imagine if you'd had a mentor when you were a young woman and facing life's challenges; someone who'd listen to your issues without judgement. Someone who'd experienced the same challenges you were going through, who'd come out the other side and could offer their wisdom, experience, and learnings. Getting involved in the Fearless Women sisterhood by becoming a mentor is a great way to give back and provide support, guidance, and friendship for a girl or young women in the Canberra region.
