Interviews

Oliver Cavill (Slimetube), Mosman Park Primary School

We asked Oliver Cavill from MPPS about his music education at his school and we found out a few things, his schools “music” education was mainly about drama, they learnt only how to sing (no instruments) and there was pretty much no “music theory” education. This is not to say that the schools music education is bad but that it lacks in some fields. The main one that we decided to look into is the music theory part. His primary school really taught no music theory, we believe that by creating our program and synthesiser we can improve the music education of MPPS.

Ptolemy Steele, North Fremantle Primary School

We also asked Ptolemy Steele from NFPS about his music education and he told us that he is only learning music notes and learning how to play the recorder. We then asked him if he was learning chords or music theory, which he said he wasn’t. He also said it wasn’t much fun.
