SoundSafari is a dynamic creative arts education program designed to support schools and communities through music, dance, storytelling, singing, drumming, Ukulele, recorder, percussion, film making and  song writing workshops.

We deliver expertise in music and creative arts services to communities and schools across the Northern Territory, with a particular emphasis on young indigenous artists and outreach into the wider community.

Since 2019 soundsafari is a preferred sports voucher scheme provider in the Alice, Barkly, Vic Daly and North East Arnhem Region.

SoundSafari is working with experienced facilitators delivering a wide range of expertise workshops, during and after school, ranging from 3 to 14 days. All facilitators are trauma-informed and hold current Working With Children clearances.

SoundSafari delivers educational programs that celebrates the NTs unique culture and geography, including collaborations with local artists and educators through stories, music, dance, poetry, singing and visual media.

Singing, Dancing and Drumming are big on our SoundSafari calendar this year and we would like to build the largest recycled music fence this side of the Queensland border!
