Abstract
This paper examines a high school in urban New South Wales in which music education is making a difference for boys. The school approach is examined through the lens of the Motivation, 'e'ngagement, 'E'ngagement (MeE) Framework, developed by researchers Munns and Martin (in 2005); and its activities provide opportunities to discuss educational benefits associated with the study of music: fostering multiple literacies, building self esteem, creating equitable access to the arts regardless of socio-economic background and most importantly, developing musical intelligence.
