professional development days

The Song Room & Allans Music + Billy Hyde
are proud to present the
2011 national
professional
development days
Participation in music and arts profoundly adds to our quality of life, strengthens our identity and self-esteem and connects
us to one another and to our community. It develops essential life-skills such as teamwork, communication and respect for
others. It fosters critical thinking and has a direct and positive effect on learning skills. Music can cultivate an appreciation of
other cultures, embracing diversity and community awareness. It is creative, it allows self-expression, it’s fun – it is vital for our children.
We recognise that bringing music into the lives of our students is a critical and important task.
The Song Room & Allans Music + Billy Hyde Professional Development Days bring together a diverse range of Australia’s
best known music educators and advocates to provide an opportunity for school teachers to develop their understanding
of how music and music technology can be incorporated into the classroom, to learn new skills and techniques, and to
network with their professional colleagues.
