The MCA Music in Australia Knowledge Base is assisted by the Music Board of the Australia Council.

Explanatory note [Skip]

While the knowledge base is being built, it will have pages which show intended rather than actual content. The list of contents below shows only what has actually been posted to the site by the day of the last update.

The structure of the knowledge base was governed by the model described in The music sector defined (first page under Context). Since the graph depicting the music sector is mentioned on several pages you may wish to download it here, and save the file.

Individual items are colour-coded to match the five main sections of the knowledge base shown below the banner headline. The authors ‘RL’ and ‘HHG’ are Richard Letts and Hans Hoegh-Guldberg.
