Sistema Australia
January 24, 2011
Sistema Australia – A school music education system based on a Venezuelan model. Currently being trialled in Laverton (VIC), the model involves instrumental learning and high-quality performances at school.

Who pays for the music teachers’ time, expertise, and energy? How does the El Sistema model benefit music teachers or the profession itself in any way shape or form? Are they manned by volunteer teachers?? interns? or student/teachers?
Dear Eugene, there should be a contact email on Sistema Australia’s website to whom you might address your queries.
My task is to search out current weblinks, free lesson plans, teaching ideas, research and current approaches to Music education (with an Australian focus) and list all relevant websites on the musiceducation.edu.au searchable database.
Please let me know if there is a particular area of interest or need (re. Music Ed resources) and I will gladly go hunting
All the best for a wonderful start to 2011,
Pru Borgert
