Narre Warren South electorate
Mr MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:35): (6249) My question is for the Minister for Education and concerns the recently announced boost for music education in schools. Minister, could you please provide further details on how the music in schools program will benefit students in my electorate of Narre Warren South? Music education is important for the wellbeing of young people and creatives alike. Learning a musical instrument requires dedication, focus, dexterity and mental agility, not to mention it can be a lot of fun, especially playing in a group. Whether students take on an instrument for their own pleasure at home or with aims to one day become a world-famous artist, the Andrews Labor government recognises the significance of access to instruments, materials and quality education. I would appreciate any further information on how the music in schools program will benefit the students, staff and teachers in my electorate. I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community.
