The Song Room & Allans Music + Billy Hyde are proud to present the 2011 national professional development days Participation in music and arts profoundly adds to our quality of life, strengthens our identity and self-esteem and connects us to one another and to our community.

Music can cultivate an appreciation of other cultures, embracing diversity and community awareness. It is creative, it allows self-expression, it’s fun – it is vital for our children. We recognise that bringing music into the lives of our students is a critical and important task. The Song Room & Allans Music + Billy Hyde Professional Development Days bring together a diverse range of Australia’s best known music educators and advocates to provide an opportunity for school teachers to develop their understanding of how music and music technology can be incorporated into the classroom, to learn new skills and techniques, and to network with their professional colleagues.
