Schools Music Advocacy Kit

In its 304 pages, you will find a host of facts, tips and sample outreach letters that will bolster your own efforts to support music education.

Australian Society of Music Educators

The purpose of ASME is to encourage and advance music education at all levels as an integral part of general education and community life, and as a profession within the broad field of music.
International Society for Music Education (ISME)
For all of its fifty years, the International Society for Music Education (ISME) has argued that music is an essential part of the education of all people, in every corner of the world.
 Music educators and supporters continually find themselves needing to justify why music is important in our schools and community.
The Performing Right Society (PRS) is a non-profit membership organisation which collects licence fees from UK music users.
Music Education Coalition The Music Education Coalition has produced a variety of materials to assist local music education advocacy groups in their efforts.
Music Education Online

aMuse organises professional development programs for primary, secondary and instrumental music teachers, organises student performance activities including master classes and festivals, and can provide independent advice on curriculum matters
The Song Room work to provide high quality music and arts experiences to young people, particularly those disadvantaged through isolation, disability, recent immigrant status and financial circumstances. Through our programs, we aim to stimulate creativity, enhance learning and self-esteem, thereby encouraging greater participation in the school and community.
 
Teacher Aids

Visual Presentation

I have included some classroom visual presentations in regards to music teachers presenting their music room, technology room and storage room. These examples illustrate the importance of stimulating the students from the minute they enter the room as well as looking after equipment and maintaining order. I was impressed with their efforts and I hope that schools looking to set up a music room can learn from some of the examples shown.
