Talent Development Project

Mentoring the next generation of Australian talent

Since 2014 the Talent Development Project (TDP) has held highly successful Open Talent Workshops: five-day musical workshops for singers and songwriters aged 14 to 24.

For more than 20 years the TDP has discovered and taught young musicians, many of whom have gone on to successful careers at home and overseas. With respected Aussie talent like Felicity Urquhart, Morgan Evans and Francine Bell on the teaching team, it’s no wonder these workshops are such a hit with the young musicians who come to learn from some of the best in the industry.

I met you today at the Talent Development Project workshop. I was so inspired by your lesson with us, and after listening to your singing, I have enormous respect for you as a performer.

Francine Bell is definitely a ‘one of a kind’ teacher. Not only is she an extremely talented singer herself and a master in teaching, but she is a beautiful person as well! Francine ROCKS!
