Young Musician's Platform

For students considering a career in music, performance, or production, the JustPlay Young Artists Platform offers the perfect launchpad.

Young Musicians Platform: Ignite Your Musical Journey

At JustPlay, we’re fueling the dreams of young musicians from Year 3 to Year 11, turning passion into performance and creativity into community impact. Our Young Artists Platform is your launchpad to discover your voice, collaborate with peers, and shine on stage—whether you’re a soloist, part of an ensemble, or dreaming big. As we expand each term with bigger JustPlay LIVE concerts, engaging more schools, families, and young talents, we’re building toward epic events like Young Voices’ arena spectacles at the O2. Join us in creating unforgettable moments that inspire a lifetime of music!

Completely Free for families and participants...
