The Real Songwriters of Melbourne are reaching out to our community as we help one of our very own, Brodie O’Halloran (Magdalia).

Pakenham music school, Creative Souls Studio is home to over 180 students from Cardinia Shire and its surrounding areas. Established in 2007, by Jennifer Kerr and now led by Mary O’Halloran (Brodie’s mother), this female-led music school is known for their inclusive and positive environment as well as their constant contribution to the Cardinia community.

The school recently received devastating news that they must vacate their current premises by the end of the financial year and are desperately trying to raise funds to appropriately fit out their new home. Should they not be able to raise funds for their new school, the school will unfortunately no longer be able to operate.

Losing the music school will not only impact the students, but the families, teachers and the wider Cardinia community. As the oldest music school in the shire, this forced shut-down will be truly devastating to everybody involved, especially Brodie’s family.

Therefore, we are extending our reach to the studio by joining forces in an exclusive fundraising concert to help raise funds for the new school.
