About Soundhouse™

Soundhouse™ Music Alliance oversees and promotes multi-media, music making and education for teachers and students. Its contemporary focus engages those interested in modern music-making. 

Each Soundhouse enhances the curriculum of a school and provides a learning opportunity that is respected and admired. 

Soundhouse facilities are specially equipped classrooms where students and teachers can learn, explore and experiment with their own music-making. Soundhouse has individual studios equipped with modern multi-media equipment and digital technology enabling experienced and novice musicians to create their own composition or learn from prepared recordings.

The Soundhouse™ Music Alliance is a Registered Charitable Foundation.

Soundhouse™ actively encourages and facilitates integrated music-making and technology in schools.

Soundhouse™ History

The first Soundhouse was established in 1986 at the Victorian Arts Centre and was the brainchild of the Brash Foundation. 

The founders, Geoff Brash, AM and Martin Carlson, OAM, saw the potential for young people to integrate their music with emerging technologies. 

Since the beginning, successful ventures and partnerships enabled new Soundhouse facilities to be established. The first were in Victoria but soon afterwards, other Soundhouse facilities were created interstate and overseas. 

In 2009 a committed Board of Directors continues to focus on ensuring modern music making is a lively component of the modern educational landscape.
