The Ping project is now looking to sign up schools for the Ping project starting in term three 2010.
The first two events were very successful, with an online classroom with MSO conductor Ben Northey and two MSO musicians, as well as a live web cast of the MSO concert “The Composer is Dead”. Recordings of both of these are available to view on the Ping website for teachers and students. If you feel inspired by these to sign up for the classroom based program for semester two then please read some more about the project and contact kent@songroom.org.au to express your interest.
