History
ACTMEN was unofficially formed in 2005 as an informal forum for Music Educators to participate in professional conversation. Driven by Mr John Frohlich of the Canberra Institute of Technology, Mr Mathew Irving of Radford College and Mrs Debbie Masling of Lyneham High School, ACTMEN has developed into an educational body that advises and promotes music education programs, education policy and professional development of Music Educators in the ACT.
ACTMEN believes outcomes for Music Education in the ACT should be of the highest priority when reflecting on a holistic and liberal education for students. It recognises the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, artistic and creative benefits of Music when active participation is fostered and a quality curriculum is promoted. This is best achieved by facilitating professional conversation, collaboration and professional training of Music Educators and associated stakeholders.
