Dandenong Ranges Music: Professional Development Sessions this August!
Written by 3MDR on August 11, 2025
Following the success of 2024 panels, the Dandenong Ranges Music Professional Development Sessions are back with two free events this August to help local musicians and industry workers grow skills and networks.
Presented by Dandenong Ranges Music, 3MDR and supported by volunteers from the local music community, these sessions offer practical advice and opportunities to connect for emerging and established artists alike.
Dandenong Ranges Music is a new initiative aiming to build a comprehensive music directory for the region – helping artists easily access venues, media contacts, and industry resources. This directory will strengthen the local music scene by making it easier to connect, book, and collaborate.
