Regional Queensland, Australia – Songs from the Reef are extending applications until March 10. This exciting community songwriting program is for emerging songwriters living along Queensland’s stunning reef, from Townsville to Mackay.
Regional Queensland music makers will take their creativity to new heights with mentorship, community, and a chance to perform at QLD Music Trails – The Reef. Starting in April, 20 songwriters will join a 10-week online program with I Heart Songwriting Club, to sharpen their skills, receive expert mentorship, and write up to 200 songs.
The journey will come to life at QLD Music Trails – The Reef, where participants will showcase their talent at The Reef Sundowner fireside jam in Proserpine on June 12, 2025.
“Queensland’s coast has recently faced some rough weather and the community has been focused on ensuring their homes and families are safe. Songs from the Reef is a relief from that – something fun, uplifting and soul-filling – and we want to ensure that people have a chance to participate,” says founder of I Heart Songwriting Club, Francesca de Valence.
I Heart Songwriting Club is a Queensland business that has empowered over 1,500 members across 30 countries to create over 30,000 songs through its various online programs, workshops, and mentorship initiatives.
