The new NSW year 7 to 10 music syllabus out. This is a subject dear to my heart, because years 7 and 8 are the only time in my state where (just about) every child gets music classes from a qualified music teacher. What goes in the syllabus is really important because we live in a world of compliance, and while many wonderful teachers teach beyond the syllabus, it will still dictate a lot of practice out there.

If you’d like to know my first impressions, I’m live-Tooting my responses over on Mastodon (as I said last time, because Twitter/X is nasty now and people can’t just have civilised debate there … plus the owner is a narcissitic sociopath and if I needed that in my life, I’d still be on Facebook). https://aus.social/@jameshumbers
