The Pasi Sahlberg conversation series is a 3-part series of urgent discussions about the Australian Education System.

In this second episode, Pasi Sahlberg is joined by Ricky Kradolfer, music educator, guitarist and front man of The City Riots, and Sarah Donnelley, 2020 ARIA Music Teacher of the Year and deputy principal of Wilcannia Central School, to discuss the lack of music education in the Australian school system. From lived experiences, these teachers have seen music inspire engagement and give children a different way of expressing themselves, especially those who struggle with traditional methods of learning.

Pasi Sahlberg and the panel explore the sense of connection music brings and the excitement that children feel coming to school knowing they will partake in musical activities.

This talk was recorded live at Sydney Opera House in 2022.

Wendy McCarthy is one of Australia's feminist heroes. She shares her remarkable life and achievements, and the lessons she has learned - and taught us all.
