Music Teaching Resources
Member schools have access to two of the most practical and classroom-ready teaching resources in Australian music education.
Gig Based Learning immerses students in authentic music making, while Soundlab develops the production and engineering knowledge to take their work further, complemented by a growing collection of resources from leading Australian and international music education partners.
Gig Based Learning (GBL) is a practical, performance-driven approach to music education. Instead of learning skills “just in case,” students prepare for real musical outcomes: a gig. Through performing, composing and listening, learning becomes purposeful, collaborative and authentic. Each gig provides a clear goal, with skills and knowledge developed in context and applied in real time.
Soundlab
Soundlab is a practical, classroom-ready resource for teaching the core principles of music production and sound engineering. Lessons combine audio, guided instruction, and quizzes to build knowledge progressively, with no specialist teaching background required. It connects naturally into Gig Based Learning extension material, and underpins our Music Technology Short Courses for teachers.
Continuing Professional Development
Music EDnet membership gives your whole team access to a rich and growing professional development program.
Watch and learn from 40 plus DayTime conference sessions, deepen your GBL practice with dedicated training content, and access practical short courses that lead to nationally recognised credentials.
All designed around the realities of teaching music in Australian schools.
Community of Practice
Live the Good Life of Good Teaching
The Music EDnet Community of Practice is where passionate music educators connect to exchange ideas, explore new teaching approaches, and celebrate creativity in the classroom.
From weekly jams and classroom tours to shared resources and lively discussions, it’s your space to learn, contribute, and be inspired by others who live the good life of good teaching.
Weekly Jam
Join the Music EDnet team and other new members to ask questions, share ideas, and pick up practical tips for teaching. It’s a great way to get started and make the most of your experience.
Whatsapp Group
Connect with other classroom music teachers, share tips, swap resources, and be part of a lively community that gets what you do. Stay inspired and keep the music going!
Classroom Tours
Share your stories of innovation and success in the music classroom. Others have already shared their own classroom tours waiting for you to explore and get inspiration from.
School Dashboard
The School Dashboard is your music department’s home base.
Every member school gets their own personalised space to manage staff, view software licences, track learning spaces and technology, and access support resources matched to the tools your school uses.
Add or remove staff as your team changes, keep shared planning notes and documents in one place, and get targeted support from day one.
Our Technology Review is the fastest way to get fully set up.
Explore innovations in learning spaces and technology
What does a great music learning space actually look like? The best people to answer that are the teachers who have built them.
Explore classroom tours and feature stories from member schools across Australia, and discover how innovative music departments are transforming their spaces.
You will also find inspiration for GBL-ready environments, including Jam Pods and Jam Stations that bring the Gig Based Learning experience to life.
