WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

As the President of MTASA (The Music Teachers’ Association of South Australia), it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the latest edition of our magazine. I hope this publication finds you well and recharged after a successful Summer Professional Learning Day.

The Summer Professional Learning Day was held on January 25, 2023 in the lovely Hartley Concert Room, University of Adelaide. It was an outstanding opportunity for music teachers to come together, learn, and grow. I was inspired by the energy and passion in the room and the commitment of our members to advancing the field of music education.

In this edition of the magazine, you will find articles and resources that build on the themes and topics covered during the Summer Professional Learning Day. These reviews and resources are designed to support you in your ongoing professional development and to help you bring the latest innovations and best practices into your teaching.

As music teachers, we play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of musicians, music lovers, and citizens. By staying informed, connected, and engaged, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of our students and advance the field of music education.

I encourage you to take some time to read through the articles, try out some of the new teaching strategies and techniques, and share your thoughts and feedback with the community. Let’s continue the conversation started at the Summer Professional Learning Day and work together to make a lasting impact in the lives of our students.

Thank you for your commitment to music education and for your continued support of The Music Teachers’ Association of South Australia.

Sofie Arhontoulis, President MTASA
