SUMMARY:Clarinet ZOOM Masterclass with Yvette Audain
DESCRIPTION:Following the success (and fun!) of my clarinet workshop at the recent New Zealand Concert Bands Association (NZCBA) Festival\, and some exceptionally humbling encouragement from participants and band directors\, I’ve decided to host my first ever online workshop.\n\nDuring the first part I will introduce and discuss the many benefits and insights gained through my recent practice in long tones – this isn’t only a musical and technical practice as I’ve been discovering it to be way more holistic than that as a tool for mental and physical wellness.\n\nThis will be followed by an open forum to which I invite you to bring any questions you may have about your playing. Participants are also encouraged to contribute their own answers.\n\nSuitable for all ages and levels\, whether clarinet is your first\, second or umpteenth instrument! If you’ve found yourself teaching it when you haven’t been playing long yourself\, please don’t be shy to bring any questions relevant to that.\n\nThis workshop is also open internationally and while I may not be the number one clarinet expert in all the world\, I bring my own life experience and perspective as a musician\, composer\, teacher and human who has largely lived\, learned and loved life through the clarinet.\n\nPlease email me at audainmusic@gmail.com with your email address to register – I will send the Zoom link in a confirmation email upon receipt of payment.\n\nLooking forward to seeing you there with your clarinet\,\n\nYvette Audain (M.Mus\, GradDipTchg) 🙂\nhttp://www.yvetteaudain.com

SUMMARY:Wellington Orchestra Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance for Primary and Intermediate-aged students who can read music and play an instrument. \nWe have six pieces arranged by Richard Oswin\, ranging from classical favourites to film scores and pop hits. \nThis is an ideal opportunity for students who practice mostly on their own to join other students and make music in one big ensemble. The technical difficulty of the music is suitable for students in their second or third year of learning. Along with the four orchestra sections\, there are parts for drum kit\, hand percussion\, guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, Orff xylophone and recorders. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day\, nearly prepared to play up to 6 pieces. Schools can also use the repertoire to play in their own ensemble during the year. \nThis year we will be conducted by Mike Ashton. The day begins with a massed rehearsal\, followed by sectionals and finishes with a concert of the six pieces. The concert will also include a guest performance from musicians from Orchestra Wellington. \nSchools registered for WOF will also get the opportunity to take part in Orchestra Wellington’s Education in Schools Programme and the Big Bash – musicians from Orchestra Wellington will come to your school to help prepare your students! A separate schedule will be sent out so that schools can sign up for these workshops over Term 2. \nContact Joanna Calvert if you have any questions. We encourage new schools and students to participate in this event\, come and join the fun. Sign up for WOF using the link below and then you will get sent the sheet music to start practising! \nRegister here. \nCost: \n\nMENZA Member: $100 per school\nNon-member: $130 (includes membership to MENZA for one year)\n\nOrganiser: Joanna Calvert –  calvertj@scotscollege.school.nz \nDownload WOF 2023 A4 Poster

SUMMARY:MEFA Musicworks Ensemble Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand’s fastest growing National Festival that caters for all ensembles from Jazz Band\, Concert Band\, Stage bands\, Orchestras and a mix of small ensembles. \nThis year the festival is bigger\, brighter\, and better than ever with a new name MEFA (Music Ensemble Festival Aotearoa)\, more activities\, performances\, concerts and workshops. Including performances and mentoring from the members from leading National bands and ensembles. \nMEFA offers both schools and community ensembles a truly encompassing festival. \nFor schools\, MEFA offers an all-in-one experience for all ensembles with the ability for the different ensembles to perform on different days\, giving all students an opportunity to perform and learn. \nHear professional ensembles perform at one of the evening Gala Concerts and attend mentoring with great educators as well as Band Director professional development sessions. \nWith the addition this year of a full line up of workshops\, teacher professional development days and a new awards system\, MEFA makes it the perfect opportunity in term three for any school to participate. \n*Check out the WeBO 2022 Event Schedule \n*All performances and concerts at WeBO 2022 are accessible and free of charge to the public.   \nHow it All Works \nDaily Outline \nEach day features a key ensemble style split into morning and afternoon sessions\, with ensembles scheduled for their part of the day to perform on the main stage\, then moving to a private ensemble workshop directly after the performance with one of the clinicians. \nWhen not perfuming\, members of the ensemble are encouraged to attend the sessions remaining performances in the audience to support the other ensembles. \nBoth the morning and afternoon sessions have complimentary workshops and mentoring sessions running all day so ensembles can perform for example in the morning session then attend workshops in the afternoon and the opposite for those performing in the afternoon. \n*Each day ends with an awards ceremony. \n\nYour Ensemble Concert Performance \nEach ensemble has a performance time of 20 mins on the main stage and 5 mins either side for entering and leaving the main stage. \nPerformances will be evaluated by some of of New Zealand and Australia’s top educators and clinicians who will provide valuable written and spoken feedback on the  performances\, as well as taking a support clinic immediately afterwards. \nAfter your ensembles main performance the group will be taken to the workshop hall nearby for a short personal workshop with one of the clinicians who has watched and evaluated your performance. \n*The second hall is set to allow a quick transition for attendees and a more relaxed atmosphere for the workshop. \n\nDaily Workshops \nDuring the course of the day a series of workshops and mentoring sessions are run in the morning then again in the afternoon. This allows MEFA participants the options of attending and supporting their performance session\, and also receive valuable tuition and support from our great mentors in workshops at the opposite part of the day. \n\nAwards \nEvery ensemble performing receives a Platinum\, Gold or Silver participation certificate along with a director’s video containing the adjudicators voice over. MEFA is primarily a participation event\, so no matter your ensembles skill set\, or repertoire\, awards are given on key criteria that encompass all aspects of an ensemble. \n\nEvening Concert Performances \nOn the evenings of the festival we have fantastic gala concerts with a combination of professional players\, ensembles and invited MEFA participants. \n\n*Send questions and registrations to: education@musicworks.co.nz \n*Register here

How can these relationships be deepened?\nWhat challenges does musicology face in an increasingly digital and online world\, especially given the social and physical foundations of music and its performance?\n\nAll music research is welcome\, with a suggested coda of commentary or points of meta- cognition allied with any of the conference questions.

The Board has been working hard on this with the assistance of Maude and Miller and is asking the membership to adopt the new constitution at the next AGM. \nThe draft constitution was first presented to the membership at last year’s AGM\, and feedback was received. Another draft version was presented at the Special General Meeting in Oct 2023\, where more thorough feedback was sought. After consultation with the membership and advice from lawyers\, I will put forward the following motion: \nI propose that the MENZA membership adopt the new Constitution presented to the membership on the 15th of June\, 2024. \nPlease find a copy of the constitution to have a read-through. \nI would also like to propose a change to our membership fees. Unfortunately\, there are costs involved in running an organisation like MENZA. Although the board tries to seek funding from other external sources\, we also heavily rely on membership fees. The proposed changes are as follows: \nMENZA Membership Fees Review  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembership Type \n\n\n2023 (including GST) \n\n\n2024 (Including GST) \n\n\n\n\nIndividual \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$35.00 \n\n\n\n\nStudent Teacher \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nPre-Certified Teacher \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nEarly Childhood / Kohanga Reo \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$40.00 \n\n\n\n\nArea School \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$40.00 \n\n\n\n\nPrimary / Intermediate / Kura Kaupapa \n\n\n$34.50 \n\n\n$50.00 \n\n\n\n\nSecondary / Kura Tuarua fewer than 800 \n\n\n$69.00 \n\n\n$100 \n\n\n\n\nSecondary / Kura Tuarua more than 800 \n\n\n$103.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nLibrary \n\n\n$69.00 \n\n\n$100 \n\n\n\n\nInstitution – Tertiary \n\n\n$172.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nBusiness \n\n\n$172.50 \n\n\n$150 \n\n\n\n\nReciprocal organisation \n\n\n$ 0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\nDiscourse  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-Members \n\n\n$15.00 per annum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembers \n\n\nUsers who have access to the platform \n\n\n\n\nIndividual \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nStudent Teacher \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nPre-Certified Teacher \n\n\nSingle \n\n\n\n\nEarly Childhood / Kohanga Reo \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nArea School \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nPrimary / Intermediate / Kura Kaupapa/ Secondary / Kura Tuarua \n\n\nUnlimited – with an institution email address \n\n\n\n\nLibrary \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nInstitution – Tertiary \n\n\nFive \n\n\n\n\nBusiness \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nReciprocal Organisation \n\n\nTwo \n\n\n\n\nAll subscriptions come with two free digital Tune Me In Magazines.

SUMMARY:MENZA WOF 2024 (Wellington Orchestra Festival)
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance for Primary and Intermediate-aged students who can read music and play an instrument. \nWOF 2024 is happening as a precursor to MEFA at the end of Term 3. A huge thanks to Wellington College and Musicworks for supporting the 2024 festival. \nWe have six pieces arranged by Richard Oswin\, ranging from classical favourites to film scores and pop hits. \nThis is an ideal opportunity for students who practice mostly on their own to join other students and make music as an ensemble. The technical difficulty of the music is suitable for students in their second or third year of learning onwards. Along with the four orchestra sections\, there are parts for drum kit\, hand percussion\, guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, Orff xylophone and recorders. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day\, preparing to play all six pieces. Schools are also welcome to use the repertoire in their own ensembles during the year. \nWOF is conducted by Mike Ashton. The day begins with a massed rehearsal\, followed by sectionals led by musicians from Orchestra Wellington and finishes with a concert of the six pieces\, which whanau can attend. The concert will also include a guest performance by Orchestra Wellington musicians. \nSchools registered for WOF will also get the opportunity to take part in Orchestra Wellington’s Education in Schools Programme – Orchestra Wellington will come to your school to help prepare your students!
