Anita Collins is widely celebrated for her role as an on-screen expert and campaign lead in the documentary "Don't Stop the Music," which aired on ABC in 2018. This documentary shed light on the transformative power of music education, following the journey of students and staff at a Perth school as they discovered the joy and benefits of learning musical instruments.

Anitas' involvement in "Don't Stop the Music" was part of her broader mission to translate the complex findings of neuromusical research into practical insights for educators, parents, and policymakers.

The documentary's success and the instrument donation campaign associated with it, which garnered close to 8,000 instrument donations, underscored the public's support for music education and its importance in child development.
