In collaboration with the NSW Department of Education and Communities’ Arts Unit, Music: Count Us In this year presents an innovative approach to developing and delivering professional learning to generalist primary school classroom teachers.

Professional Learning Modules

Based around the program song, the Music: Count Us In MusicPods are designed as a series of short, modelled exercises based around in-class activities targeted very much at the non-specialist teacher and applicable to K-6 classrooms.
