The Goldfields Library project began last year and resulted with a digital album of 10 quality tracks composed, performed and recorded in local secondary schools across the Goldfields region.
Since its release the album has had 400 downloads with one of the tracks purchased by ABC Radio for use in a documentary.
“Goldfields Connect aims to provide a medium for local secondary students to share their musical creativity,” Goldfields Library Corporation community partnerships and engagement manager Mark Hands said.
“It provides them with the opportunity to have their music included in an online album and made available for the community to enjoy through our eLibrary.”
The program has gained state-wide recognition and was presented by library staff at a State Library conference.
To be a part of this year’s Goldfields Connect album, students must register and upload their music tracks via Soundcloud.
Secondary schools with students in Year 10 and above, located in the City of Greater Bendigo, Loddon Shire, Mt Alexander Shire and Macedon Ranges Shire are eligible to participate.
