Mr Jim Yarnell and Dr. Anton D. Luiten would like to welcome you to the InThinking site devoted to the Group 6 subject of Diploma Program Music. This has taken many years in the making and we hope that it provides the necessary support to both you as educators and to your students. We provide weekly updates to the site and act on comments, inquiries and areas that need addressing in a timely fashion. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you require clarification, further support, or would like to see additional materials appear.
