I have been enjoying attending a series of PD’s entitled ‘Musical Futures’ and have one coming up this Friday and Saturday called ‘THE BIG GIG’. There will be guest speakers from the United States  and the United Kingdom and attendees from all over Victoria. It  promises to be a stimulating and timely conference with lots of new ideas and resources to be taking back into our music classrooms.
