Subject: Music Network News (MNN) Feb 09 Batch 2
MUSIC NETWORK NEWS - part 1
A VERY unofficial newsletter of the Australian
Society for Music Education, WA Chapter.
FEBRUARY 2009
Hi Everyone
It’s been a long time coming, but here it is at last. Some of you
are probably glad you haven’t been pestered with lots of MNN’s over the last
few months. However, I’ve had lots of people who have let me know they’ve
missed all the news and that they’re keen for me to get it going again.
I’ll try sending this in 2 parts in the hope that DET addresses can
receive it. I realise it’s too large a file for many mailboxes.
Please take special note of information about the INDUCTION DAY on
March 28 and the VICTORIAN BUSHFIRES MUSIC FUNDRAISING APPEAL (in the “Can You
Help?” section)
If you prefer NOT to receive the news, please let me know and I’ll
take you off the bulk list.
If you would like news included in the MNN, please make sure you
send me a WORD document, not PDF, with a brief description of your event/news,
plus contact details so people can contact you directly.

NEWS
TEE SET WORKS SUPPORT.
Many people have contacted ASME to ask if we have support materials
for the TEE Set Works in the new Courses of Study.
For many reasons,
However, Tempest Music has issued the following notice regarding the
Western Art Music scores:
“The final details for Set
Works for TEE are now out and you will be pleased to know all of the works for Western
Art Music are contained in the "Norton Scores".
The downside is that only
Edition 10 has all these works.
We
are ordering large quantities of Norton right now and will also be stocking up
on the individual works for those of you who prefer to have the entire work or
might need to supplement an older Norton Edition. Email me now to be sure
of stock for the start of the year.”

country school (30 students) which has not had a music specialist of music
programme for many years, She is wanting to start a music programme during her
