Music brings energy to a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He admits arming teachers with the confidence required to incorporate music into their classrooms is challenging but the results are worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is always a challenge to get adults feeling confident about just giving it a show, giving it a go,\u201d Scott said. \u201cThere is not a huge pool of experts in this region and yet everyone loves music and engage with music everyday of their lives. Understanding music is a different story and that\u2019s where I come in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott\u2019s background in secondary music education alerted him to the lack of foundation skills being built in the early years of school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of kids are entering high school with really limited knowledge of music \u2013 many were literally starting at around Year 2 level,\u201d he said. \u201cDeveloping their music knowledge does make a difference to kids academic achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Song Room\u2019s networked practice has been instrumental in driving innovation. Educators have honed their music education skills and recognised the profound impact that music has on extending learners\u2019 concentration and enhancing their phonological skills.<\/p>\n<p>It has contributed to enhanced social and emotional wellbeing, fostered executive functioning and self-regulation skills in children and young people.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the program and his role as the sole deliverer of the program to students and staff acknowledged at the 20203 Public Education Awards not only humbles Scott but also makes hi proud the program is see as worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt recognises that music is part of what makes us, us \u2013 it is great to know the program is valued and valued in our region in particular,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n<p>Scott is now a key member of The Song Room team \u2013 connecting Scott to his 2018 Music Teacher of the Year ARIA, where Then Song Room was the sponsor of the award and helped through the media maze that was the 2018 ARIA awards ceremony.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c&#8230; in my eye music is really fun and that by itself is really engaging&#8230;music brings energy to a classroom&#8230;\u201d Scott Maxwell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were up to 60 broadcast journalists capturing on camera interviews and then there was a sponsor walls where basically hundreds of photos were taken and Scott was as in demand as any other ARIA nominee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone there was famous\u201d Scott said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know where to look. I think I got better each time I was interviewed. Some were serious and some were more fun.\u201d With the red carpet nailed, it was on to the Chairman\u2019s Cocktail Party &#8211; a function with wall to wall artists and high ranking officials from the recording companies \u2013 and that was where Scott has officially presented his ARIA and made his speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was my chance to have a say and say it in front of all those professionals \u2013 it was amazing,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI felt like I had the complete support of the entire room and that my message was resonating with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting Mount Gambier, his school and the support of the wider community were key pillars of Scott\u2019s time in the limelight \u2013 as well as, arguably most importantly, his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spoke about the importance of music education in developing a vibrant, creative future for our kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And while the November 3 SA Public Education Awards ceremony will not have the same glitz, glamour and star power or the ARIAs (picture left &#038; above), Scott\u2019s message is the same \u2013 the critical role music can play in the lives of young people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Maxwell one of two Limestone Coast finalists in 2023 SA Public Education Awards \u201cI get to ride the wave as long as I want now.
