Got a new phone & didn’t install Twitter/X so that might be it for me. I especially miss my music ed gurus like @DrFautley @aakallio @ethanhein et al so DM me if you’re on a happier platform. Meanwhile I’ll be live-Tooting my responses to the second Draft NSW 7-10 Music Syllabus

As if we hadn’t had enough family sadness this week, my studio assistant, cuddle-friend & chief purrer Praya suffered a collapsed & coagulated lung & had to be put down. Humberstones need some emotional time off now please. – at Sydney, New South Wales

Very excited to hear changes to the draft Music Syllabus 7-10 from NESA via DoE friends yesterday. It sounds like a really thorough response that addresses all of the main criticisms in the report I contributed to. Doesn’t meet all recommendations but one step at a time!
Having so much fun trying to get DALL-E to make a photo of the Limerick Terry Wogan statue disguised as an Osprey for @Rubberbandits & the Limerick town council… they are so bad, they’re good.

TFW your jet lag decides you’ll get obsessed with epistemology & dominant discourses at 3am & make more slides for your lecture today.
So after over a decade of tertiary teaching, I’m teaching research methods for the first time today @SydneyCon. It has been so much fun to prepare & I hope the pre-service teachers will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed prepping it!
Music teachers should print this out and have it to hand at every meeting they have with someone who is not a music educator.

Checking out @SigmaOS. Looks amazing. The litmus test may be justifying a subscription for a browser, tho … if I’m guessing right.
