Cultural Enrichment

  1. KARI Music and Singing Program

    This incredibly popular and well attended music-based initiative is one of KARI most popular programs. It offers music development opportunities for Aboriginal Youth in a culturally appropriate environment, with the goal to increase the self esteem, skills and social connections. Being a young successful Aboriginal man, the coordinator also gives all participants access to a positive young Aboriginal male role model within the music industry.

  2. Vocal Identification Project

    VIP is an initiative between KARI, Blake Ralph Recording Studios and the NSW Department of Education. This program offers Aboriginal youth with identified talent the chance to develop and hone their vocal and performance skills. The program offers all participants an opportunity to form personal and professional relationships with other Aboriginal youth with similar talents and aspirations. Participants are also given access to high profile Aboriginal figures from within the music industry. This allows them to personally meet Aboriginal people who have achieved greatness in their chosen field. These individuals also give the participants the chance to discuss the issues and challenges that face Aboriginal people in the music industry.
