Dr Jason Goopy is a Senior Lecturer in Music Education at Edith Cowan University and a Fulbright Scholar. He lectures and coordinates secondary and instrumental music education for the School of Education and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Drawing on two decades of teaching music in studio, school, tertiary, and community settings, he is recognised for creating flourishing music learning programs.

Jason’s research examines how music education positively transforms lives at the intersection of music, education, and psychology using creative arts-based and mixed-method approaches. He focuses on how intentional music engagement and learning enhance young people’s wellbeing and how their educators can be supported. As a 2025-26 Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholar hosted by Teachers College, Columbia University, Jason investigated how learning music in New York City supports the wellbeing of young people experiencing adversity.

With a longstanding commitment to service leadership, Jason has been recognised with a Fellowship of the Australian Society for Music Education (FASME).
