All research proves students engaged in music do better at ALL other subjects, (including sport). Specialist music teachers for early childhood and in primary schools are essential for an educated society.

Music is food for the soul. The discipline of its PROPER study and the joy of attainment in musical activities aids better all-round learning in children, increases their capacity to study and learn other subjects, and produces well-rounded, self-disciplined adults of the future of our nation.

The measure of a civilised society is the value it places on the arts ,these people are vandals and depriving the children of the things that make life worth living.

ACARA cannot be serious. The Draft National Curriculum is an insult to all who have given so much to music education in Australia over the past several generations.

Music excercises a unique part of the brain as does languages and physical expression in the form of sport or dance . We pride ourselves on good education in this country and cutting this funding will remove that level .

I can't believe they are taking music out of the national curriculum. I think this is scandalous. Music is so important to every human being and essential for our brains and communication with each other- Let alone the proven scientific benefits that occur from taking part in it like what it does to your brain and body function. This is absurd. Don't let the Government dumb us down!

Music enhances all lives, but is particularly important as an 'accelerator' in learning across many disciplines in young brains.
The big successful private schools all have vibrant music programmes as know it's benefits.
We know Australia's reading and writing skills need improvement, and music will help here as well as adding that 'extra dimension' to young lives for all their lives.

Would like more subject specific language so that we are actually valued for how many skills that we teach, including composition, and the extra curricula hours that we spend teaching band and choir and developing shows has also not been acknowledged.
