The Music Education Network is a strategic partnership between Arts NSW and the Association of NSW Regional Conservatoriums in association with the Department of Education and Training. The Music Education Network was founded in 2005 in response to the need to improve the delivery of professional music practice and education activities across the region.

Arts NSW supports this network and hopes to assist the Music Education Network (MEN) in achieving greater interaction between the organisations of the sector, the regional conservatoriums, touring presenters and music practitioners across regional NSW.

The 2007 MEN touring diary (please refer to table below) identifies network members' activities throughout regional NSW. Users are able to identify music programs occurring in their region and make contact with the organisations or regional conservatoriums via the websites below.

MEN is currently made up of seven presenting music organisations and seventeen regional conservatoriums.
