She is Pākehā and in October 2022\, made the leap to self-employment. The primary focus of her work is working alongside communities and organisations as they seek to both respond well and prevent all forms of sexual harm including sexual harassment in workplaces and child sexual abuse. \nImmediately prior to self-employment life\, Mel worked at the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF). Initially this was as one of their small team of regionally based Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Advisors (SAPRAs) and then as the Manager for the SAPRAs. \nPrior to the NZDF Mel worked for the most part in NGOs who have a focus on the response to sexual harm\, including WellStop and the Wellington Sexual Abuse HELP Foundation. \nShe enjoys being able to take prior learning and adapt that in order to be able to support  organisations which have taken on the challenge of creating safer and respectful environments. \n  \nRachel Harrison (she/they) \nRachel Harrison comes from the Coromandel Peninsula and currently lives in Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington) and works with organisations and communities across Aotearoa to help prevent sexual harassment\, sexual violence\, domestic violence and child abuse. \nRachel believes that harassment\, violence and abuse are preventable and that the best solutions are tailored to each specific community and workplace\, making use of their strengths and minimising specific risk factors. \nRachel started at Auckland Rape Crisis in the 1990’s\, and since then has worked at Netsafe\, the Hauraki Family Violence Network and Child Abuse Prevention Services Hauraki. She is now self-employed and works with a range of public and private sector organisations including the New Zealand Defence Force\, New Zealand Rugby\, the screen sector\, performance sector and music community as they work toward making their communities safe and free from harassment and abuse. \n

SUMMARY:Kodály Teacher Training - Summer School
DESCRIPTION:Five days of exciting music making and learning\, led by international experts\, Maree Henessey and Rosalie Scott\, inspired by the Kodály approach to music making and learning – along with conducting with local choral expert\, Andrew Withington\, and evening sessions from local musicians\, to widen our practice\, including Kapa Haka\, West African drumming and more.\n \nThis summer we are offering an overview of the approach\, that gives a taster of the level training\, with examples of how the approach can be used throughout a child’s school years from primary to upper secondary. Participants will study musicianship\, methodology\, conducting and choir and can enter at any level of musicianship and conducting\, from beginner to advanced. \nAfter the five days\, participants are welcome to enrol in an online mentorship programme\, led by Maree and Rosalie\, and Ōtautahi members will also have local mentoring available. The mentorship programme will also be available to people who have completed at least one level of Kodály training\, through any accredited provider. \nThere are part time streams and a full time stream and options suitable for classroom teachers with limited musical experience as well as for music major graduates and musicians with no teaching experience. Choir leaders can opt to just attend musicianship\, conducting and choir or attend the full programme. \nScholarships available for recent music performance graduates\, and lived experience cultural experts. \nAbout the Kodály approach \n\nThe Kodály approach is holistic and accessible\, for teachers who are passionate about helping all their students become resilient learners and lifelong musicians. \n​When music is taught or learned using Kodály’s approach\, skills vital to advanced music making such as “inner hearing”\, rhythmic co-ordination and harmonic hearing are strongly developed at an early stage. \n​In a well researched pedagogical sequence\, within a framework of folk songs and singing games\, students learn through doing\, playing and singing. Musical elements are experienced before being named and once learned are practised\, and thoroughly understood before new elements are added. \n​Music making is at the centre\, and classes are joyful\, stimulating and fun. \n​Teachers trained in the Kodály approach are challenged to continually improve their own musicianship and teaching practise. They develop skills in long and short term planning with learners at the centre. \n​One of the most exciting parts of embarking on this journey is the opportunity to develop your own musicianship. The course meets the needs of beginner to advanced musicians. \n​The training is rigorous yet completely non competitive. Teacher training is joyful\, challenging\, liberating\, musical\, fun and transformative.

SUMMARY:Primary and Secondary Level One - Kodály accredited certificates - Summer School 2023
DESCRIPTION:With James Cuskelly and Lucinda Geoghegan \nThe Kodály approach to music education is based on the understanding that access to music making is a basic human right\, that music education should be fun\, inclusive and musical\, and should be taught in a logical\, experiential sequence. The training is a chance to gain skills in this incredibly effective approach to music education\, while picking up lots of fun games\, songs\, dances and activities to share with children and adults\, and while developing your own musicianship skills. The training is also incredibly useful for community musicians and choir leaders. \nThis course is accredited towards the Australian Kodály Certificate in conjunction with Sound Thinking Australia under the leadership of James Cuskelly. The full certificate is three levels\, achieved over three years. The Muse intends to offer Level Two in 2024. The Kodály training will transform your teaching and you as a musician\, whether you are an experienced music specialist or a classroom teacher wishing to improve your musicianship and confidence teaching music or a musician with no teaching experience. \nWe are also offering two foundation musicianship courses for those with no formal western music training in the lead up to the course\, an online course with Lucinda in term four\, and a weekend in person course with Nikki Berry and Loren Easterbrook also in term four. \nThe 10 Days will cover: \n\nMusicianship: the study of sight-singing\, score reading\, aural perception\, musical dictation and analysis using the tools of the Kodály approach (tonic sol-fa\, rhythm syllables and Curwen hand signs).\n\n\nMethodology: the application of Kodály’s principles to the development of classroom and studio teaching programs that are suitable for Australasian children. It includes the study of: Curriculum development\, Teaching techniques\, Sequencing learning\, Lesson planning and assessment.\n\n\nTeaching techniques is the practical application of teaching strategies covered in Methodology.\n\n\nCultural materials involves learning\, collecting and analysing the folk music of New Zealand and other nations to determine its suitability for pedagogical processes outlined in methodology and its ability to support a developmental music program.\nAbout the Tutors\nDr James Cuskelly OAM is music teacher at St Joseph’s School (Stanthorpe)\, Immediate Past President of the International Kodály Society\, Director of the Summer School Music Program\, Director of the Cuskelly College of Music\, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Queensland (School of Education).James has a very broad base in education\, having taught in Kindergarten\, pre-school\, primary and secondary classrooms as well as in tertiary institutions since 1987.
