About Music in Me

Music in Me is a national initiative established in 2016 by the late Richard Gill (OA), with partner Australian Youth Orchestra.

Music in Me creates opportunities for every student to access quality music education in the classroom. The program operates across remote, regional and metropolitan Australia.

Experienced K to 6 music teachers (mentors) work with participating teachers (mentees) in their classroom, to build their confidence, skills and practices in delivering valuable music experiences for students.

Music in Me:

  • focuses on team-teaching lessons co-designed by the mentor and mentee
  • provides flexible delivery negotiated between the mentor and mentee
  • does not require specialised equipment or prior knowledge
  • empowers teachers to confidently embed musical content into their regular teaching practice
  • is linked to the NSW Creative Arts K–6 Syllabus.

Please direct any questions to the National Music Teacher Mentoring Program Project Advisor.
