University
The Australian Society for Music Education
(Victorian Chapter) will offer an annual prize to a student in
each of the Victorian Universities offering music education method.
Prize
One years free subscription to ASME
A collection of ASME publications
An opportunity to serve as a new graduate representative on the
Victorian Chapter Council

Candidate
The candidate in each university
must be a fulltime student in their final year of study undertaking
double music education method studies. ASME will be responsible
for the provision of the prize and will not be involved in the
selection. The criteria for selection, based on academic results,
will be at the discretion of the university. Closing date for
nominations 1 December 2010.
Purpose
The purpose of such a prize is to increase
an awareness of ASME and to include newly qualified music teacher
graduates in the membership with the hope that these high achieving
graduates will be encouraged to take on a leadership role in the
profession. By awarding these prizes, ASME will be promoting music
education as a profession and seen to be a resource to new graduates
in Victoria.

Music
Education Web Portal (The University of Melbourne)
On 16 July 2010 a new music education
web portal was launched by Melbourne University Graduate School
of Education (Music Education) in conjunction with ASME Victoria.
The idea from the outset was to create a portal of the very best
quality sites and resources available for the web, for all music
educators and to be inclusive of a wide and diverse range of interests,
activities, styles and cultures. From lesson plans and resources
for school music teachers, amateur music and community music sites,
ICT, multimedia and film, interative music media (experimental
and contemporary), online instrumental tutition materials and
so on. It was recognised that this initiative was consistent with
a recommendation of the Australian National Review of School Music
Education.
The site is now live and it is
expected to grow and develop into an increasingly extensive resource.
We hope this will become a valued and well-visited site by ASME
members.
