Community Music Victoria

CMVic’s mission is to enhance health and wellbeing, strengthen communities, build social connectedness, and reduce social isolation, through widespread participation in active music making. We facilitate the development of the skills, opportunities and networks necessary for participatory and accessible music-making to be available to all Victorians, whatever their skills or background. Our research driven practice promotes individual and community health and well-being, under four goals:

1. LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS: supporting the ongoing development and sustainability of skilled community music leaders in Victoria
2. PARTICIPATION: promoting community music-making for all, focusing particularly on those new to participatory music making, and on diverse, marginalised, and disadvantaged groups.
3. ADVOCACY: fostering understanding of the value of music making in daily life, establishing participatory music-making as a common element of arts, education, community health and broader government strategies.
4. SUSTAINABILITY: consolidating as the peak body for community music in Victoria: an inclusive, responsive, effective organisation.
