An advocate for music education
Richard Gill AO
Richard Gill (1941–2018) was one of Australia's most passionate advocates for music education for every child — a cause the Collegiate has shared since its founding.
These links were collected on the original CSME site between 2011 and 2013. Some may no longer resolve.
Richard Gill wrote and spoke extensively about the importance of music education for children. The Collegiate gathered these interviews and talks on its earlier site; they remain worth seeking out.
