With this level of national coverage, we have heard most reasons why
schools would/could not introduce a rigorous music education
program: money, time, focus, internal capacity, to name but a few. Our
national research work a few years ago indicated two big factors that
would sway classroom teachers to engage more consistently with
music. Teachers were clamouring for digitally sophisticated resources
to engage students on their own terms more readily, and access to a
deeper exploration of Australian Indigenous culture. We set ourselves
