This is a NESA register course for IEU members only. Completing the IEU Book Club - interview with the author will contribute one hour of NESA registered PD addressing 7.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers Accreditation in NSW.

Dr Anita Collins in her newly released book, The Music Advantage, draws on the latest international neurological research to reveal the extraordinary and often surprising benefits that learning music can have for children. According to Collins’ research, learning music can give every child an advantage, whether they are not coping at school or are doing well already. Dr Collins sheds light on the techniques she has seen in operation around the world and trialled herself. With real examples from home and school, along with some practical strategies, The Music Advantage shows how teachers can support their students’ educational development with music.
