Tonight the site was officially launched at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music 'Technology in music education' presentation evening.
While the technical aspects of the site have now all been smoothed out, there is still much work to be done. General primary teachers get little to no training in music eduation, despite the fact that music is the most (and I don't say that lightly) beneficial pursuit for any child. Please join us in closing the gap between kids that get the chance to learn music and those who don't. Sign up for the forum, post your questions and answers here, and give and receive advice. If you have an instrument lying around that you're not sure how to play, make a post and I'll make a tutorial on how to play that instrument. Any questions about where to start? What kind of expectations you should have going into this? let us know.
Hi Cleo, I've always wondered how you can actually help kids with music if you can't play an instrument. It's 40 years since I was at school but my fondest memories of music teachers was if they could play piano.
How could I help bring music into their lives when I can't play?
Any tips would be great, thanks.
