2009 National Awards for Excellence in School Music Education

In response to the 2005 report of the National Review of School Music Education, a National Awards for Excellence in School Music Education Project is to be funded by the Australian Government under the Australian Government Quality Teacher Programme. The awards are to be administered by the Australian Society for Music Education (ASME).

The Awards aim to:

• Recognise individual teachers and school leaders who have made an outstanding contribution to the provision of music education in Australian schools;
• Provide opportunities for award recipients to further their professional learning related to music education; and
• Raise the status of music education in Australian schools.

In 2009, up to thirteen awards for excellence and leadership in school music education will be awarded to teachers and school leaders. The awards will recognise the recipients' exceptional contribution to enhancing the status and quality of music education in their schools.

Each recipient will receive a grant to the value of $5,000 to further their professional learning related to music education.
