About the program

"Stage6 Music - Teacher professional Learning at The Tops" is a residential professional learning opportunity that aims to provide government school music teachers with a set of intensive workshops and master classes that address the marking guidelines and assessment of students performance, composition and extended responses to aural stimuli. Sessions will be delivered by highly experienced markers and there are also opportunities to work with Brett Weymark, Warwick Tyrell and Damian Barbeler, three professional musicians working at the pinnacle of their chosen field of music.
