Bondi WAVE youth program

Bondi WAVE is a 12-week course that teaches upper primary and high school bands how to write and arrange original music. Designed for bands in the making or individual musicians in need of a crew, each week groups are mentored by a rotating roster of industry professionals, including Jim Elliot from The Cruel Sea, Abby Dobson from Leonardo’s Bride, Lily Richardson from Clews (and APRA) and Brendan Gallagher from Karma County. The program culminates with a concert performance and professional recording for you to debut to an audience larger than your folks.

Whether you're new to music or an experienced player, the Bondi WAVE program is a great introduction to playing in a band and creating original music.

Applications will open on 9 March and close on 23 April 2026. More details to come.
