The Research Files: A quality music education

Music education is an important part of primary school. It’s got a range of benefits, of course, not only for students’ music learning, but for improving their capacity as a learner more broadly, and there are benefits for their wellbeing too. In Episode 101 of The Research Files we're joined by Dr Rebecca Taylor, a Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Council for Educational Research. We’re going to be exploring survey data from 2 reports into music teaching and music education in primary schools – they’re all about the ‘what’, ‘when’, and ‘how’ music learning is delivered. Our chat certainly provides some food for thought in terms of what you’re doing in your own practice and maybe the supports that you need; if you’re a school leader, maybe what expertise exists within the staff and what their PD needs are.
