Snack Music is a Christian band for primary school aged children, based in Melbourne Australia. Brendan, Ruth, Holly and Jesse formed Snack in 2005 and have written three albums of original songs for kids. They perform regularly around Victoria and interstate at churches, holiday programs and outreach events. All have been involved in church-based children’s ministries and Christian outreach programs for many years and they see music as a vital catalyst for sharing how amazing God is with children.

• Snack Music runs workshops for training events including topics such as “Engaging Children through Music” and “Music with kids who don’t yet know God.”

Sample session titles and descriptions:

• Starting Out With Music
Starting Out With Music
If you’ve never used music with children or you’ve been doing it since children were invented, no matter how many musical bones there are in your body, this workshop will help you through the basics as well as giving you a few new tips. Learn some of Snack’s songs, how to get the most out of music, when and where certain songs are appropriate, and how to get the kids involved. This elective is gluten free.
