Welcome to the DRMC
This is the home page of the Dandenong Ranges Music Council Incorporated, an arts organisation located in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. The DRMC has been funding, facilitating and teaching community music for over twenty-five years, under the guidance of Bev McAlister and her dedicated staff. The Dandenong Ranges Music Council Inc. is assisted by the Australia Council, the Federal Government's Arts funding and advisory body, and the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
DRMC Chairman Norma Durrand says:
Community music is for everyone, beginner to professional.
It enriches our lives and gives us opportunities locally to sing, play, perform, jam, create and listen
