Creative and Performing Arts Education

So, you're interested in teaching Music or Drama?


If you are an aspiring teacher, or a qualified teacher wanting to advance professionally in the arts, our units of study in Creative Arts Education will develop your ability to deliver quality programs from K-12.

The Creative Arts are a recognised Key Learning Area in the school curriculum.

Our Creative Arts Education units:

  • help to explain the key aspects to the syllabus (K-6 or K-12);
  • demonstrate and model how to get started in teaching art, drama, music and dance; and
  • guide you in how to plan an effective school arts curriculum.

Furthermore, you will be introduced to a range of valuable teaching resources and information technologies that will enrich your future teaching.
