Former Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett and the Warumpi Band will
open the $25,000 studio this month.


Papunya's youth coordinator, Gavin King, says World Vision and the
Federal Government jointly provided the money for the Warumpi Studio.


Mr King says he expects the project to have a significant impact on
the community.


"Music is such an integral part of everyday life," he said. "It seems
everyone can play an instrument or three.


"It'll be a great deterrent because young men and women who are now
petrol-sniffing can come into the studio and be trained in engineering
and the production side as well as playing the music itself."
