A dynamic school holiday music program, hosted by esteemed music and entertainment company the Mushroom Group, is coming to Melton.

On Track is a free five-day program that invites high school students to celebrate music, collaboration and creativity through learning from established music mentors.

Over the course of the program, participants will learn about songwriting, record music, create a music video, partake in workshops, excursions, watch live performances and more.

The program is developed by the Mushroom Group and supported by the Department of Education and Training.

Students will also have the chance to win prizes each day, such as music equipment, gift cards and merchandise.

The program is designed for students to engage with music, in order to learn new skills, instil confidence, have a voice and make new friends and connections through creative collaboration.

Since 2018 the On Track program has run in suburbs across the west, including Hoppers Crossing, Melton, St Albans, Braybrook, Tarneit and beyond and has engaged nearly 1000 students.

This year, the program will run from June 27 to July 1.
