Australian Society for Music Education SA

The South Australian chapter of ASME seeks to further the aims and objectives of ASME within South Australia in the following ways:

• In response to the professional needs of local music educators the SA chapter organizes a range of Saturday conferences or workshops. These events are designed to stimulate and support professional learning and facilitate networking with other music educators.
• The SA Newsletter endeavours to support the sharing of professional practice through its reporting of local and national events. It keeps the chapter up-to-date through discussion of issues of current relevance and provides information about upcoming events. Contributions to the Newsletter are most welcome and should be sent to the editor (see Publications)
• Publishing music teaching resources written by teachers – see Publications
• Organising the SA Young Composers Awards
• Strong and pro-active advocacy for music education with various authorities (including DECD, SACE, AMEB etc.)
