Peter Earl - The Music Guy, Dharug and Gundungurra Country, The Blue Mountains, NSW
George Sheppard met Peter Earl aka ‘The Music Guy’ to present him with his nomination. Peter is the founder of The Music Guy: an organisation that provides fun, inclusive concert band programs for primary school students in the Blue Mountains and Western Sydney region, as well as music education resources for teachers and students. Through his organisation Peter has impacted hundreds of students and continues to provide opportunities for students who have limited access to music education.
The Music Guy began when Peter, formerly an assistant principal at a local primary school, realised that very few schools in the area had any kind of band program largely due to the unavailability of tutors, resources and funding. After establishing a successful band program at the school, he then went on to provide concert bands in nine primary schools. The band program has been carefully designed to motivate and engage young minds with the use of body percussion, theatrics, games and more.
