and Australian research finds that arts education generally and music education specifically are uniquely beneficial to students\u2019 learning at school. The academic and policy community, and major global employers such as Google and Tesla, say students must develop the 21st century skills of creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration over more narrow, technical skills. These are the bedrock principles of SongMakers. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">While music is one of the most dramatically-changing industries and presents exciting opportunities for young creatives, the pace of change makes it near impossible for teachers to keep up with developments. The SongMakers program bridges that gap to help teachers deliver relevant popular music education that matches the industry\u2019s opportunities with their students\u2019 aspirations.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-check\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">In the longer term this kind of focused investment in the ecosystem around music creating will see cultural and economic rewards for Australia. How? Because Australia will be established internationally as a centre of excellence; as more Australians become engaged in creating music, there will be more excellence and commercial success for our writers.
