Research has found that school teachers in Victoria struggle to provide the aspired to multicultural education for pupils, especially in the area of music education. An online survey was conducted to identify the reasons for this and to provide a snapshot of the current situation in Australian schools. This survey found that, as many teachers do not possess appropriate knowledge, resources and educational background, artists in residence are often invited to teach multicultural music in schools as an alternative strategy. The participant teachers identified the involvement of these culture/tradition bearers as the most authentic method to teach world music and their presence in schools as the most accessible resource and more engaging approach for students. This study exploreshow governmental regulations and policies, including curriculum frameworks that address multiculturalism and multicultural (music) education, effect current practices in Victorian schools. The voices of teachers at the ‘chalk face’are rarely heard in such discussion and this survey attempted to address this hiatus.  \nKey words: artist in residence; authentic transmission and pedagogical practices; cultural diversity; intercontextualisation; multicultural music; music teachers; proximal simulation.  \nAustralian Journal of Music Education 2012:1, 57-70  \nIntroduction  \nAustralia is a country of migrants and many cultures (Bowen, 2011) . From the Second WorldWar to 2006–2007, more than 6.6 million migrants from around 230 countries have settled in Australia. The Australian Government’s commitment to a multicultural Australia is assured in the Australia’s latest multicultural policy introduced last year (Bowen, 2011) . The Australian (Fact Sheet 6, 2011) and State Governments have developed a set of regulations and policies to enhance multicultural practices including a set of curriculum guidelines for schools. The Australian federal government  \nmandates that schools should foster teaching and learning that will create future citizens who are “caring, tolerant fair and compassionate”(Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST), 2005, p. 2). All Australian schools are expected to promulgate the Nine Values articulated by the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST, 2005). The Nine Values are care and compassion, doing your best,‘fair go’, freedom, honesty and trustworthiness, integrity, respect, responsibility and understanding. These Nine Values comply with the expectations of Australia’s new multicultural policy commended to Australians by the Prime Minister Julia Gillard. The policy addresses the  \nimportance of fairness and inclusion as National interests and “enhances respect and support for cultural religious and linguistic diversity”(Bowen, 2011, p. 2). Victorian researchers Joseph and Southcott (2009a) suggested that multicultural music education can be a vehicle which could incorporate the Nine Values such as respect and understanding (DEST, 2005) .  \nVictoria is the most culturally diverse state (Victorian Multicultural Commission, 2009) in Australia where most migrants have settled. Its capital Melbourne is claimed to be the“most liveable city of the world”(American Broadcasting Company, ABC News, 2011). The majority of migrants live in the surrounding suburbs of Melbourne. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reports that “Victoria is characterised by a large migrant population, 24% of population were born overseas and 44% were either born overseas or have a parent who was born overseas” and the majorit","cbCaikxaQryhC019","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikxaQryhC019","pdf",596396,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Multiculturalism and migration context in Australia\n## Government policies and curriculum values for schools\n## Victorian approaches and legislative frameworks\n## Need for teacher voices at the chalk face","[{\"question\":\"Why are Victorian schools expected to provide multicultural education programs?\",\"answer\":\"Changing demographic factors and governmental policies require schools in Victoria to foster multicultural educational programs that address students’ diverse needs.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem did the study investigate regarding multicultural music education?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers in Victoria struggle to provide the aspired multicultural education for students, especially in music education, prompting the need to identify underlying reasons.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the survey describe an alternative strategy to support multicultural music teaching?\",\"answer\":\"When teachers lack appropriate knowledge, resources, and educational background, artists in residence are often invited, and their involvement is seen as the most authentic and accessible approach.\"}]","Snapshot of Multicultural Music Teaching in Victorian Schools - Music Teachers’ Voices and Policies | PDF",1792077365,35]
