Haven't touched an instrument in years, or want to show off your skills? With People's Instruments popping up across City of Moreton Bay, now you can!

Instruments will be set up in libraries, galleries and museums, ready for anyone to try. You might find a piano, guitar or even some percussion. The magic can be found in every instrument with Make Music Month.

There is no need to be a professional, just drop in during opening hours and give it a go!

Children are welcome to come and test their musical talents, but they must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. Please be mindful of others and share the space so everyone can enjoy the instruments.

From time to time, instruments may be in use for events or unavailable due to venue activities. Council staff will be nearby if you need any assistance.

Events using the people's instruments

Catch a live performance, as local musicians will take to the instruments on selected days. It is a great chance to hear what is possible and feel inspired to play.
