Music Networking Hui
2019-06-05 15:30 - 17:00 UTC | Cardinal McKeefry School Wilton, Wellington
Kia ora koutou e ngā kaiako puoro o Te Ūpoko o te Ika
I 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.
In 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:

Teachers' Professional Development Day in Auckland with Dr Robert McWilliams
2019-05-17 08:00 - 16:00 UTC
Friday May 17th
10am – 4pm
Venue: East Auckland – Please Contact education@musicworks.co.nz for the specific location.
Topics include:
“Strategies and materials for convincing stakeholders on the value of instrumental music learning”
This session will cover effective strategies and materials that are persuasive for students, parents, administrators, etc. to support recruitment and retention in instrumental learning. Exciting new developments in research to support this will be shared and identified.
“Choosing and preparing repertoire that will be rewarding for all – players, conductors, and audience”
This session will address choosing repertoire that provides the optimum means for developing musicianship and expressive playing. Suggested repertoire and reasons for inclusion will be covered. Effective methods for preparing and studying repertoire will also be addressed including how to study and mark scores to be ready for effective rehearsals.
“Rehearsal strategies that build musicianship skills and develop your ensemble faster!”
This session will explore rehearsal strategies that are focused on getting the players’ ears more involved in the process so that they hear the issues needing to be addressed and can generate solutions that will transfer to other aspects of their playing. This approach develops musicianship significantly faster when applied consistently and results in more cohesive ensemble playing.
Please bring your instrument as at the latter part of the day for a short time, Dr Mc Williams will run a basic “teacher ensemble” to discuss some of the concepts in preparation for the Saturday clinic. This will be a very relaxed and fun session.
Thank you to YAMAHA, MusicWorks & ABODA for providing this Professional development at no cost, and a big thanks to West City Youth Concert Band for being our training band on Saturday.
