Describes what sort of modifications would be acceptable and shows concern over the progress of the publication. This situation highlights the general lack of awareness amongst the general Australian education community about Aboriginal cultures and how to include Aboriginal material in the curriculum. Alice hoped to provide a positive example of how to study aspects of Aboriginal music by this kit.

To Richard Letts, Director, Australian Music Centre, 28/06/88
Provides brief history and report on the progress of the kit, including a copy of the assessment made by an Aboriginal reviewer at the Department of Education in Queensland. This letter represents a real shift in the sociopolitical landscape with Alice now having her work critiqued and advised by Aboriginal specialists in the field of primary and secondary education.
