I’m really excited to give you a taste of what’s coming up at TopMusicLive this year. In today’s episode, we’re having a chat with Dr Anita Collins, who’ll be delivering one of our keynotes in Sydney. We talk about something that every music teacher is feeling right now — students are changing, attention spans are shifting, and resilience looks different than it used to. Anita helps us understand what’s happening in the brain and why music learning has never been more important.
Dr. Anita Collins is an internationally recognised educator, researcher, writer, and consultant who bridges the gap between cutting-edge brain science and everyday teaching practice. Best known for her expertise in music learning and brain development, she uses this powerful lens to address broader educational challenges including student engagement, parent advocacy, and system wide innovation. Anita’s presentations inspire new possibilities, her consulting transforms how schools and organisations think and act, and her pragmatic strategies ensure change is both achievable and lasting.
Consider implementing the ideas from this podcast by writing several actionable steps for your teaching practice if it’s inspired you.
