Rhythm Works

Rhythm Works is a high-energy, joy-filled percussion experience that shows students how music can paint pictures, tell stories, and spark creativity. This dynamic duo performance transforms sound into vivid imagery – think lizards scuttling, waterfalls cascading, road trains rumbling, and carnivals bursting into life.

Students are introduced to a range of instruments including African djembes, marimbas, electronic loop machines, Boomwhackers, and even wearable instruments made from PVC pipe. The show is fast-paced, interactive, and packed with moments where students are invited to clap, move, listen, and imagine.

What is Musica Viva Australia In Schools?

In 2026, the Tamworth Regional Conservatorium of Music is proud to once again host Musica Viva In Schools (MVIS), bringing one of the nation’s most trusted and dynamic music education programs to our region.

Musica Viva In Schools offers far more than a concert. Through interactive, curriculum-linked performances by some of Australia’s finest musicians, students experience a rich tapestry of musical styles and cultural traditions. The program is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and engagement, while also supporting teachers with high-quality learning tools.

Each booking includes at least a term’s worth of digital teaching and learning resources, aligned to all national and state curricula. Teachers also receive access to online professional development webinars, offering practical guidance on using the resources and insights from the musicians themselves.

What’s it Cost?

By participating in a concert hosted at TRCM, schools receive a heavily subsidised student ticket price of $5 per student (standard price $10.50), making high-quality live music experiences more accessible for regional communities.

How Can Schools Book?

To streamline the booking process for schools attending a concert hosted by us, schools can complete an online registration form by visiting Jotform. Once submitted, the Tamworth Con will register your school with Musica Viva Australia on your behalf.

If your school indicates that students with Diverse Access Needs will be attending, Musica Viva Education will contact the school directly to discuss appropriate support and accessibility arrangements.
