The first encompasses the concept of the ‘lilt’ where poetry is ‘nudged’ into music with simple melodies reminiscent of the lullaby. The second is a complex set of alliterative alphabet poems set to music which have been enthusiastically learned and performed by children as young as 4.  \n WORKSHOP 2B: Springboards \nWhere do I start? – how do I build a music programme? This will be a hands on workshop for teachers of 0 to 8 year olds and includes: singing\, listening\, playing\, moving and creating.

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 where kaiako can: \n\nPick up some new practical activities for exploring music in the classroom\nExperience ways to incorporate creative dance into a kaupapa\nUse the power of language to create waiata relating to various topics\nCreate your own musical conversation using percussion instruments\n\nFor more about this work please check out the short video featured in this UNICEF article about our kura\, and take a leisurely stroll through the Te Ara Whānui sound garden blog\, where you can see the taonga I created for my students (painted and decorated by them)\, and footage of them performing their own musical creations (eg Y5 kōtiro waiata & pao ā ringa). The new Te Ara Whānui sound garden will be opening this term to give our ākonga free access to music making in their own time\, very exciting!  \n  \nSome feedback on previous workshops can be seen here: Feedback from kaiako.  \n

SUMMARY:Retrieving music classes from the jaws of NCEA: sharing ideas on curriculum design with Dr Graham McPhail
DESCRIPTION:Sector: Secondary\nWhere: Faculty of Education and Social Work\, Epsom Campus\, 74 Epsom Ave\, Epsom\, Auckland.\nCost:Free for MENZA members\, first year teachers and those currently enrolled in an education degree\, or $30 for non-members.\nRegister here today \n  \nThis workshop will introduce the key concepts of a curriculum design model currently being trialled in a number of New Zealand schools. The aim of the workshop is to engage with the high level of teacher autonomy available in New Zealand by encouraging renewed thinking about curriculum design in its broadest sense rather than in relation to assessment\, which has tended to dominate teacher thinking and practice over the last decade or so. The Curriculum Design Coherence (CDC) model currently being trialled in the Knowledge Rich School Project run out of the University of Auckland is one that has been theoretically critiqued in the academic literature and is currently being trailed and critiqued by teachers in five New Zealand schools (three secondary\, one primary\, and one Kura). Teacher capability in relation to thinking about curriculum design is very likely to be enhanced by coming into contact with these ideas. \n  \nDr Graham McPhail is Senior Lecturer in Music Education in the School of Curriculum and Pedagogy at the Faculty of Education. He taught secondary school music for 21 years and for three years was the national moderator for NCEA music working for NZQA. His research interests include the place of knowledge in curriculum development\, 21st century education\, and pedagogy in one-to-one music tuition.  Graham is a past President of the New Zealand Suzuki Institute (NZSI)\, a member of the baroque ensemble Extempore\, and artistic co-director of New Zealand’s original instrument orchestra NZ Barok. He also teaches baroque violin in the School of Music and is one of New Zealand’s leading figures in the critical approach to performance of 17th and 18th century European art music. \n
