Celebrate 45 Years of MVA Music Education Delivery
Join MVA and be part of the legacy
Our Professional Development workshops give you the confidence and tools to deliver music lessons in the classroom. Covering basic elements from the F-10 music curriculum, you will develop skills, ideas, and activities for immediate use. All events are designed for both generalist classroom teachers and music specialists.
All workshops are curriculum aligned to the relevant State music syllabus and aligned to AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers. Musica Viva Australia is a NESA-recommended provider because we currently run programs that are NESA-accredited.

Celebrate 45 years of music education delivery with Musica Viva Australia Professional Development workshop at MVA House, Zetland. This 2-hour workshop is a joyful, nostalgic celebration of how Musica Viva has inspired generations of primary classrooms and how those ideas can inspire your teaching today.
Explore favourite PD activities of current and former MVA music specialists and proven approaches, then bring them to life through hands-on music-making, creative exploration and interactive collegial discussion. You’ll actively engage with a range of practical classroom strategies, digital tools, and ready-to-use resources designed to energise your students and refresh your practice.
MVA Face to Face PD workshops are never a sit-and-listen experience. It’s playful, practical, and filled with ideas you can use immediately. Join the 45-year celebration of why music education matters, feel inspired by what’s possible, and leave buzzing with confidence, creativity and connection.
Registration is essential and limited spaces are available.
