Session Expression of Intrest
On behalf of the Program and Organising Committee, we welcome all expressions of interest from all educators, school leaders, researchers, industry professionals, and the wider music education community to explore the intersection of equity, innovation, and leadership.
Theme: Playing our part: Delivering excellence in music education
The theme for QMEC 2027 recognises the collective responsibility we share in shaping high-quality, inclusive and future-focused music learning for all students in our schools and communities.
QMEC 2027 will bring together educators, school leaders, researchers, industry professionals and the wider music education community to explore the intersection of equity, innovation, and leadership.
We are seeking presenters who will share practical strategies, ground-breaking research, new techniques and approaches, leadership in practice, and digital innovations that:
- Highlight how individual practice connects to system-wide impact
- Demonstrate that aligned effort creates meaningful outcomes for students
- Inspire, support and enable everyone within the music education ecosystem to expand participation, nurture talent and enrich school communities across diverse contexts.
We invite you to play your part by sharing your insights and experiences. Your contribution will help shape the landscape of music education in Australia.
