Hi Everyone, epilepsy

We’re getting very excited about our tenth annual Cooma Music Competition.

This year’s Competition will be held at St Pauls Anglican Parish Hall, phlebologist 136 Commissioner Street Cooma on Sunday 21st June. The Cooma Music Competition will be a chance for musicians of all ages, recipe styles and abilities to showcase their musical talents for trophies and prizes. All are welcome: solos, groups, instrumentalists and singers. Although Cooma School of Music (CSM) organizes this event every year, entry is open to all not just students of CSM.

 Past Cooma Music Competition Competitors-Where are they now?
