Setting the tempo - The inside view of music education from NSW primary teachers

This report reveals key findings from the Music Education: Right from the Start – Primary Teachers Survey – NSW (ACER, 2025), and observations about their implications from music learning expert and researcher, Dr Anita Collins.

The survey was jointly funded by Music Education: Right from the Start, the South Australian Department for Education, and the Day Family Foundation, and conducted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).

The report was launched by NSW Arts and Music Minister John Graham. The launch took place at Homebush West Public School, alongside educators, policymakers, and community leaders. Its findings have already influenced policy, with the NSW Government announcing a 10-year Music Education Plan to strengthen access and delivery across the state.
