UNCOVERED

UnCovered is a Territory-wide songwriting program for students at NT Government Schools, culminating in a year-end competition.

To help you along the way NT Music School will be offering a series of workshops in the first half of the year.  These sessions will provide valuable insights into songwriting, copyright, work registration, and recording for both students and teachers and will be available in-person or online.

There will also be a series of all-ages gigs later in the year, offering students the chance to gain live performance experience and to showcase their musical talents to a wider audience.

Prizes have been generously sponsored by Focusrite Australia, Novation, Rock City Music Alice Springs, and Top End Music Centre, Darwin with over $8000 worth of prizes all up.

UnCovered provides an opportunity to delve into the world of music, encouraging creativity, collaboration, and the discovery of new talent.
