The co-operative was founded by music teachers Nik Wardlaw, from St Marys District High School, and Eliza Spykers, from Bicheno Primary School.
Mr Wardlaw works with a number of community groups and professional musicians to help promote music as a career pathway.
Every student at Bicheno Primary School plays an instrument thanks to the influence of the program.
“Seeing students develop their confidence, perform in front of an audience, and do something that’s bigger than themselves is what makes our work so inspiring,” Ms Spykers said.
