VENUE: University of Auckland Epsom Campus, 74 Epsom Ave, Auckland
Gate 3 B Block (first building on the right)
This event includes two x 105 minute workshops:
Sound and symbol – connecting music and language
A child’s early years offer opportunities to develop a musical identity and discover the “musical self”. The natural connection between words, images and sounds found in poetry and books provides useful starting points for music-making at all levels. This workshop explores a range of music possibilities including rhythmic layering, adding background music, developing musical themes to represent characters, and vocal exploration and songs to represent key ideas in stories and poems.
Dancing Music to life
Every story has a dance in it ! This workshop will find those dance story possibilities and get your words moving. Dance has its own language and the more familiar we are with it, the more naturally the links to literacy come to mind. From word warm ups to dancing stories, this workshop will not only get you thinking. It will also be a lot of fun !
