The future of creative arts and in particular music relies on the combination and collaboration of education, creativity and technology to shape the musicians and audio engineers of the tomorrow. In this episode of Oz Soundz Unleashed we are diving into music education in 2025. How it's evolved, what challenges teachers and students are facing, and where we are headed next. From composition, performance to new funding models and a growing emphasis on creativity over competition, music education is transforming fast.

We unpack the 10 key areas for focus on music education including but not limited to:

• Curriculum Alignment and Scope
• Access, Inclusivity and Equity
• Skilled and specialised teaching
• Practical Music Making (Performance, Composition, Technology)
• Cultural and stylist diversity
• Engagement, enjoyment and well being
• Continuity and Pathways to Industry
• Resources, Facilities and Infrastructure
• Assessment, Feedback and Reflection
• Partnerships, Community and Industry links
• 
  

We are joined by a HSC Music Student embarking on her music and audio careers and discuss her journey thus far and into the future. A discussion not to be missed for any current high school music student intending to do music for the Higher School Certificate.

Finally we introduce our listeners to ALIYA an up and coming indie pop artists from Sydney NSW who is making waves in industry with her own unique style of pop rock.
