Daily interactive sessions covering engaging activities for all years of Primary that promote the development of musicianship through both rigor and creativity. Explore modes of learning and assessing to ‘turn on’ the most ‘turned off’ students. Sessions will include new activities for familiar tunes, lesser-known folk repertoire and songs from outside of the folk and classical genres with a focus on effectively fostering students’ understanding and skills through active music making.

From the recently-released to the “why didn’t I know about this before?”, there are some incredibly useful tech tools available that can help empower student learning in music education. Technology can provide opportunities to differentiate learning quickly and effectively through apps and browser extensions that are readily available and mostly free to use.
Attendees will discover apps that allow students to snap a photo of their sheet music in order to play it back or transpose it quickly. We’ll look at rehearsal and transcription tools that will change the tempo of videos and audio recordings without changing the pitch, plus set up short practice loops, transpose songs and bookmark important sections of a piece to enable quick navigation. Learn how to create instructional playalong videos that show synchronised notation on screen. Discover an on-screen keyboard that displays notes that are pressed and identifies chords in real-time – just like the keyboard tutorials you see on Youtube. Explore the in-sync lyrics in apps like Spotify and Apple Music to speed up the learning of songs. Learn how to make your own screen tutorials or verbal/visual feedback videos that allow students to pause or rewind the teacher and more!
With early childhood educators needing to teach across a huge developmental range (0-5 years), this workshop is based upon tried and tested repertoire examples, that are developmental, sequential and link to the Early Years Learning Framework. Repertoire will include indigenous music, and Australian composers, appropriate for the early years. I will show you how I take a song, rhyme or recorded music piece and use it across 5 age groups, with or without props, using percussion where appropriate and a range a movement experiences. This workshop will be lots of fun, very active and applicable in your own teaching contexts.
Parachutes, Lycra, Puppets, and more all help reinforce movement and support the understanding of concepts, skills, and imagination. Make your lessons memorable and join Kimberley to discover new songs, engage in fun games, master lively dances, and immerse yourself in captivating song stories in this fun and active session for Early Years and Lower Primary Students.
Join an interactive workshop, “Harmonising Learning,” where we delve into the art of teaching engaging choir sessions tailored for Lower Primary to Secondary students. This dynamic session focuses on enhancing musical education through interactive methods. We’ll kick off with creative warm-up exercises, setting the stage for an energised learning environment. Discover the power of brain-break activities, fostering focus and creativity among students while keeping them enthused.
The workshop will delve into teaching techniques employing solfa and rhythm names, providing innovative strategies to demystify musical concepts. Participants will explore inventive teaching ideas that make learning both fun and educational. By the end, you’ll be equipped with a toolkit of engaging activities and methods tailored to diverse age groups, ensuring that your choir sessions resonate with excitement and learning.
Get ready to harmonise your teaching approach and leave inspired to create enriching musical experiences for your students!
This session will be hands-on, voices-on, practical and interactive. We will experience and explore many different ways in which the fundamental solfa system can be applied and of great benefit to your choir. The rewards are finer tuning and higher levels of musicianship. We will cover vocal and body warm-ups, canons, part-songs and repertoire, all infused with solfa.
