SUMMARY:Music Networking Hui
DESCRIPTION:Kia ora koutou e ngā kaiako puoro o Te Ūpoko o te Ika \nI was speaking at the Orff level 1 & 2 course about how lovely the training is for creating a sense of community and connection between teachers\, and seeing the beautiful moments of musical exploration and collaborative creation. When we go out into our own contexts it falls on us alone to create the same sense of magic for our learners\, and it can be a tricky thing to keep doing this\, coming up with new ideas and trying to make the ones you’ve learned work among the challenges of the job. \nIn order to support each other and nurture this community\, you are all very welcome to come along to our next networking hui. Last term we had a wonderful time sharing one or two short activities from our own mahi\, and I think this is a good format to keep up. Thanks to those who participated and contributed their notes to our folder\, it was a very special evening. This time Ann has generously offered to host us at her school: \nMusic Networking Hui\nWednesday 5th June\n3:30 – 5pm\nCardinal McKeefry School\nWilton\, Wellington

Hauora is a key component of this mahi\, as students learn how to manage their oranga hinengaro\, wairua & whānau to explore and sustain their creativity. \nI am passionate about sharing these teaching approaches with other kaiako so that more of our tamariki can access the benefits of child-centred music education\, and I am organising PD workshops for kaiako in 2019. These are open to any kaiako who are interested in bringing more music and movement into their classroom\, regardless of prior knowledge. They are hands-on\, interactive papamahi delivered in te reo and tikanga Māori where kaiako can: \nPick up a range of practical activities for exploring music in the classroom\nExperience ways to incorporate creative dance into a kaupapa\nUse the power of language to bring it alive through music\nCreate your own musical conversation using percussion instruments \nFor more about this work please check out the Te Ara Whānui sound garden blog.

SUMMARY:Lower Hutt - Sharing the joy of music with kids- teachers' & carers' workshop
DESCRIPTION:Because Arohanui Strings passionately believe that all children deserve the opportunity to participate in music-making every day\, we are offering a FREE teacher workshop this term. The object is to help all teachers and caregivers enjoy simple music-making with their tamariki\, using minimal props and technology. Music is a great tool to encourage empathy\, pro-social behaviour and classroom skills like listening\, making a circle\, taking turns etc. We have developed a valuable resource for teachers of the 5-8 age group\, The Alphabet Songbook. Our workshop will be based on this book and how to use it in the classroom for joyful movement\, as well as building literacy and numeracy through music. Check it out here: www.alphabetsongbook.nz Books will be available for sale on the day. \nWhere: Kawakawa room\, Stokes Valley Community Hub\, Lower Hutt\nWho: all teachers\, teacher aides\, and caregivers of junior primary school (approx up to age 8)\, especially those who feel they “can’t sing”. \n \nArohanui Strings-Sistema Hutt Valley is sponsoring a unique PD event for teachers and caregivers of young children. We have been teaching music in the Hutt Valley for nine years\, providing quality youth orchestra classes with instruments provided\, all free of charge to children age 6 and up. In addition to our after-school orchestra\, we have also visited classrooms in the northern Hutt schools regularly\, working with whole classes and their teachers. Our website is listed below for more information.

SUMMARY:IRMT Wellington - From the Cradle to the Studio
DESCRIPTION:The Wellington Branch of the Institute of Registered Music Teachers invites you to come along to a seminar given by Helen Willberg\, who for many years has been involved in research into and promotion of early childhood music education in NZ. \nDuring the seminar you will be invited to explore such questions as: how did our own passion for music originate? How can we ensure that this passion and interest is passed on to the next generation? How can we be involved with ensuring that all young children are being given the right kind of exposure to good music? \nThe seminar will be of great interest and highly relevant\, not just to those involved with early childhood music education\, but to instrumental teachers working with students of all ages and stages. So if you’re looking for ideas to help strengthen your students’ understanding of rhythm\, pitch and other vital elements\, then this will be the place to be! \nHelen Willberg Seminar Flyer

SUMMARY:MUSIC AND MOVEMENT WITHIN A TE AO MAORI FRAMEWORK
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling through kapa haka with Whaitiri: \nThere are many forms and styles of Kapa haka (Māori performing arts). However the purpose of kapa haka remains consistent. Whether it’s recording history\, sharing knowledge\, celebrating\, mourning\,warning or entertaining\, kapa haka is a vehicle for telling our stories.  My workshop will take participants on a journey through 4 significant parts of my life. Each of these four stories on my journey are expressed through  four unique types of kapa haka:  Haka\, waiata\, pātere (to chant) and waiata-kori. We will wānanga the reo (voice)\, the pao (beat) and the mahi-a-tinana associated with each type. Participants will gain an insight into multiple forms of kapa haka and a spiritual understanding of how our waiata/haka/etc have their own mauri (life force). \n  \nCreative music and movement using a te ao Maori framework with Rawiri: \nExploring rhythmic and non-rhythmic sound-scapes with low-tech instruments i.e. newspaper\, stones\, sticks\, poi…sound exploration would also include voice\, making sounds with our bodies and Te Reo.  For rhythmic soundscapes I will use the waiata ‘tihore mai te rangi’ and having the participants engage in the dimensions of movement\, voice\, sound\, gesture and Te Reo (words of the waiata) to ‘go deeper’ into the waiata i.e. a hinengaro\, a tinana\, a wairua. For the non-rhythmic soundscapes we will work in groups with each member of the group choosing one Atua i.e. Tangaroa\, Tawhirimatea… and then exploring the manifestation of their Atua through movement\, voice sound\, gesture and Te Reo. The group will work together to create the soundscape and the movement motifs for each Atua. \nFunded by Networks of Expertise \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\nPrice\nQty\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Feeshow details +\n$10.00 (NZD)  ea\nQuantity 0  1  2  3 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister at https://onza.eventsmart.com/events/te-ao-maori/

SUMMARY:Wellington Orchestra Festival 2021 - POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS\, THIS EVENT IS TO BE POSTPONED\, DETAILS TO BE CONFIRMED \nA day of orchestral rehearsal and performance led by arranger and conductor\, Richard Oswin\, for senior primary\, intermediate and secondary students who learn an instrument. \nThis is an ideal opportunity for students who practise mostly on their own to join other students and make music in one big ensemble.

Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors to attend on the day\, nearly prepared to play up to 6 pieces. Schools might achieve an ensemble of instruments who can play together but this is not essential. \nThe day begins with a massed rehearsal and sectionals\, and finishes with a concert of the 6 pieces. Repertoire ranges from the Baroque to modern pop/rock music. \nPlease be in touch with your questions. We’d love to increase the range of schools with students participating in this event. It’s a fine tuned machine now\, ready to welcome new teachers and student musicians. Click here to register. \nmhorner@sbc.school.nz

SUMMARY:MENZA Workshops and AGM
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE OF MENZA AGM\n18 June 2022\, Newlands College\, WellingtonWorkshops: 1.30-2.30pm\n\nPrimary/Intermediate workshop with Makaira Waugh and Rawiri Hindle\, and launch of the new Poutokomanawa resource: Te Koha a Tāne\nSecondary workshop is a Q&A session on the RAS with Matt Stenbo\n\n\nMENZA AGM: 3-4pm \nPlease RSVP here by Thursday 16 June for catering purposes and to obtain the ZOOM links to the AGM and both workshops. We look forward to welcoming you to the MENZA AGM and/or workshops! \n \n\n\nTe Koha a Tāne education resource launch\nTe Koha a Tāne is a new music and movement resource for Y0-8 kaiako from the Poutokomanawa team who brought you Aruaru ki Tawhiti/Chase across the Waves. The beautifully illustrated resource retells the story of Rātā and the Waka from the tree’s perspective\, exploring the conservation theme through 10 episodes of hands-on music\, dance\, drama and art activities that any kaiako can deliver. Featuring original waiata and karakia that encapsulate the learning\, the resource will be free to download in both te reo Māori (coming soon) and English versions from the MENZA website\, along with videos and other online support material to assist your teaching. \nThe one hour workshop will be an opportunity to meet the creators\, celebrate the launch of the resource\, and take part in a series of short music and movement activity examples including a new waiata featuring music by Kiwi Kidsong writer Radha Sahar (nee Wardrop). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKia ora e te whanau \nThe MENZA AGM will be held on the 18th July at Newlands College at 3pm and will be live-streamed. If you would like to attend the AGM and/or workshops (1.30-2.30pm\, also to be live-streamed) please RSVP here (for catering purposes and ZOOM links\, which will be available for the AGM and both workshops). \nDue to a recent resignation of a Board member\, the MENZA Board at the time of the AGM will have five elected Board members and three co-opted Board members\, however\, the MENZA Constitution states that we should have nine elected members to be on the board\, therefore we will need to have an election. \nIn regards to electing Board members\, the MENZA constitution states the following: \n8. ELECTIONS \n\n\nThe period during which voting may take place in elections for the Board shall be determined by the Board and shall include the day of the Annual General Meeting. Where distance voting is to occur the period shall begin not more than fourteen and not less than seven days prior to an Annual General Meeting. \n\n\nNominations for Board members as defined in 7(a)(i) shall be forwarded in writing to the Secretary no less than twenty-eight days prior to the date at which voting begins. \n\n\n(c) Each nomination shall incorporate the signatures of a proposer and a seconder who must both be then current financial members and shall be also signed by the nominee signifying acceptance of the nomination. In the event of there being fewer written nominations received by the due date than the number of Board members allowed for in 7 (a) (i) above\, further nominations may be sought by a committee set up by the Board for this purpose and called the Nominating Committee. \n\n\nI would like to put forward to the members that we vote to fill the four vacant positions on the board. Currently\, the three co-opted members on the board are Charlotte Nicklin\, Christian McDonald and Makaira Waugh. They have indicated that they would like to continue their time on the board and put themselves forward to be elected onto the MENZA Board. \nAs we have three MENZA members putting themselves forward to be on the Board we are seeking at least one other member to put themselves forward. If there are more than four members seeking a position on the board\, an election will be held. As the Chair\, I would like that position to be elected at the AGM. This means that for this election\, the time frames to elect new board members will be different to the constitution. \nI propose the following dates: \n\n8th June: Nominations close for the four vacant positions on the Board. Click here for a nomination form.\n10th June: Information regarding the nominations will be sent out to MENZA members. Online voting will open.\n16th June: Online voting closes\n18th June: At the AGM\, members in attendance will vote. Both online and in-person votes will be counted. The new members elected to the Board will be announced.\n\nIf any members object to this process can you please email admin@menza.co.nz before the 8th of June 2020. We will then follow the process that is outlined in the Constitution. If you would like to discuss the process further or are interested in joining the MENZA board please email me directly at: blau@newlands.school.nz. \nBen Lau\nMENZA Chair \nRSVP for AGM&workshops and ZOOM links\nMENZA Board Nomination Form

SUMMARY:Wellington Orchestra Festival
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance led by arranger and conductor\, Richard Oswin\, for primary and intermediate students who can read music and play an instrument. \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 practice and while it is an orchestra\, there are kit\, hand percussion\, guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, xylophone and recorder parts. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day\, nearly prepared to play up to 6 pieces. Schools might use the repertoire to play in their own ensemble\, but this is not essential. \nThe day begins with a massed rehearsal\, followed by sectionals and finishes with a concert of the 6 pieces. Repertoire ranges from the Baroque to songs from musicals and pop/rock music. \nContact calvertj@scotscollege.school.nz if you have any questions. We’d love to encourage new schools and students to participate in this event. It’s a fine-tuned machine now\, so come and join the fun. \nClick here to register
