Musica Viva Australia is excited to unveil its newly redesigned Education Resource Platform – a refreshed, intuitive, and teacher-friendly experience for schools across the country. Included with every Musica Viva Australia In Schools booking, access to the platform is a key part of how we support and empower teachers through high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources.
Launching in the lead-up to the 45th anniversary of MVA’s Education Program in 2026, the new platform (formerly known as the Digital Learning Platform) represents a significant investment in the future of music education.
A favourite among teachers for many years, the original platform has been widely praised for its high-quality content and classroom-ready materials. The upgraded platform has been developed in partnership with digital agency Studio Bravo and created in collaboration with music education specialists. The result is a more streamlined and responsive experience that continues to offer comprehensive support for educators, with engaging, curriculum-aligned learning activities that connect directly to each show.
'We’re so excited to share this new platform with the 7,500+ teachers we work with every year. It’s been designed with teachers in mind – from the easy-to-read layout to the tablet-friendly features. It’s all about making access to classroom resources easier and more engaging for educators and students alike. We can’t wait to see how it supports even more great music-making in schools across the country.'
Cassandra Lake, Director of Education, Musica Viva Australia

Every booking through the Musica Viva Australia In Schools program includes access to our Education Resource Platform – available to the whole school. Once a school has booked a show, teachers enjoy ongoing access to the resources and can return to them year after year. Each resource includes detailed concert guides, musician bios, repertoire insights, visual stories, cultural protocol statements, and cross-curricular integration ideas; all designed to enrich teaching and students’ learning experiences.
'I LOVE the Musica Viva resources. They are perfectly aligned to the curriculum, with activities that can be easily differentiated for Stages 1, 2 and 3. Our whole Term 2 unit was created around the Musica Viva performance.'
