National Review of School Music Education

In March 2004, the Australian Government announced a National Review of School Music Education.  A team led by Murdoch University undertook the Review on behalf of the Australian Government to identify:

  • The current quality of teaching and learning of music in Australian schools;
  • Factors that affect the quality and status of teaching of music in Australian schools;
  • Examples of best practice of teaching and learning of music both in Australian schools and schools overseas; and
  • Key recommendations, principles and priorities for enhancing school music education.

Abstract

This study included a literature review, call for submissions, site visits, national survey and curriculum mapping to determine the current quality and status of music education in Australian schools.  It provides an examination of the challenges facing schools in providing music education and highlights opportunities for strengthening music education in schools.
