This course is aimed at specialist and generalist teachers working in early childhood\, primary\, intermediate\, and lower secondary school and community settings. \nThese courses are a hands-on\, experiential\, and gentle introduction to the practices and principles of the Orff approach. Participants in this course can achieve ONZA certification at Level 1. Level 2 is also being offered for those who have completed level 1. \nThe Orff approach is characterised by the integration of speech\, movement\, and music with a focus on improvisation. Because of its integrated nature\, it works effectively alongside curriculum areas and boosts inquiry learning and gives opportunity to develop creativity in both the teacher and student. \n\nLevel 1 and 2 courses 20-25th April\nVenue:  Auckland University\, Epsom Campus\, Auckland.\nCost:  Members: $600   Non-members: $640 Students: $400 (Early bird fees before April 2nd\n\nComments from participants\n“The course was incredibly fun\, hands-on\, and it really allowed for equal participation and collaboration. I laughed\, and I cried;  \nI was inspired and challenged. It is fair to say \nthat the course was life-changing for me both personally and professionally.” \n“Many thanks for the Orff time! It was wonderful and let me learn to appreciate the beauty of collaboration and cultural diversity.” \n…” the Orff approach offers an alternative culture of learning\, where artistry is invited\, contributions are celebrated\, fun is had\, and students are intrinsically rewarded through supported achievement and musically enriching collaboration”. \nFunding and support in your school\nONZA (Orff New Zealand Aotearoa) has won funding by the Networks of Expertise to provide support to selected schools and early childhood centres to assist in the development of their music programmes. This comes in the form of a fully paid course to 1 or 2 teachers and assistance through mentoring by an experienced Orff educator or team\, in the development of their music programmes at their school. This can be customised to meet the needs of the school and teacher\, and the support will occur within an agreed-upon timeframe. Please contact us if you and your school are interested in the mentoring programme. \nFor all enquires contact Jo at jocharman@xtra.co.nz \nTo find out more\, or register go to http://onza.nz/professional-learning-2/

SUMMARY:Getting audio tracks out of a Digital Audio Workstation
DESCRIPTION:Saving\, downloading and sharing. You got your students to make a track using a Digital Audio Workstation\, but now what do you do with the audio? How do you save it or share it? If you teach NCEA\, how do you ensure you can mark it? This workshop is for any teacher and outlines how to save and export the audio (and midi) made in a Digital Audio Workstation. This will include practical examples with Soundtrap and Garageband. Other DAWs can be discussed but there won’t be time to demonstrate all of them.  This will be followed by different ways to share these tracks and tips for managing audio track files. This workshop will finish with some considerations of some different uses of individual tracks\, as opposed to a full song with all of the tracks combined. As always\, bring your questions.  \nThe workshop will be recorded along with the digital handout and will be uploaded to https://menza.co.nz/resource/digital-kaiarahi-resources/ \nThe zoom meeting does not have a password\, but does have a waiting room. Please join from 6:25 pm and wait to be admitted \n\n\n\n\n\nGet the Zoom link from the MENZA Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Young recorder virtuoso goes for Baroque
DESCRIPTION:Young gun musician Lily Doak has earned a soloist spot in two prestigious classical music concerts\, where she is keen to show what her favourite instrument\, the recorder\, can do. \nThe University of Canterbury (UC)’s School of Music presents Together Again in The Great Hall of the Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora on 22 June\, the first in the Arts Centre Chamber Series. The Baroque Music Community and Educational Trust of New Zealand presents “Beatles go Baroque” at The Piano Centre on 21 June\, with a similar programme. \nDoak\, a UC Biochemistry and Music (double degree) first-year student\, says she has always loved the recorder – an instrument most music students start with but soon leave behind. Yet the humblest of wind instruments has had a revival\, claiming back concertos that were originally written for recorder but have been performed on flute for many years. \nSerious about the recorder \n“I suppose recorder is the first instrument I played\, and I have played others since\, but it’s the instrument I am most attracted to because of the freedom and expression\,” Doak says. \n“Other wind instruments seem to have a lot more resistance. I enjoy the style of music written for the recorder\, baroque and the modern music that has been written since the revival of the recorder\, and new techniques that have been developed. It is crazy and so different\, and I want to show people what the recorder is capable of.” \nUC Head of Performance Professor Mark Menzies agrees the recorder is a serious proposition. \n“The recorder is often considered a school-kid’s instrument\, but in fact to play it well at the professional\, concert-performance level takes enormous skill and practice. Lily has been an extremely motivated recorder player since she started studies at UC\,” Professor Menzies says. \nTake Vivaldi’s La Notte\, which features on the programme for the upcoming concerts. It was composed for recorder and Doak has been eager to perform it for five years. Now she has the chance and listening to different recordings as she prepared\, she found some surprising interpretations\, she says. \n“La Notte is a journey into the night. A group called Red Priest did a version and they called it ‘the nightmare’ – theirs was as close as baroque gets to heavy metal\, they took it to the extreme.” \nDoak isn’t taking the heavy metal approach\, however audiences are still in for a surprise. \n“There are moments of calm and movements where you go crazy and you can’t believe you can play that fast!” she says. \nHer other piece is by German composer Georg Philipp Telemann: “It is lighter and explores different musical styles from the French overture to Italian airs; you have to pay attention to the style you are imitating and switch styles within the one piece.” \nTime management is key \nThe talented young musician began studying at UC while still at Burnside High School. \n“The two years she spent studying both music and science while also finishing high school studies was a testament to her talent\, her ability to connect on a mature musical level\, and her delightful musicality\,” Professor Menzies says. \nDoak has been a national finalist in the New Zealand Chamber Music Competition\, a member of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra\, principal clarinet of the Burnside High School Orchestra and student conductor of the Burnside High School Junior Concert Band. \nShe is a current member of student-founded Seasonings Ensemble at UC. With playing\, music and biochemistry to juggle\, her time management skills have to be excellent. \n“I have a very strict timetable where I plan every second of the day. When I don’t stick to that\, things spiral out of control quite quickly. I work better when I am busy\, it has made me a lot more passionate about my playing.” \nAs for a future career\, Doak is still working it out\, she says. \n“I love science and music\, so maybe I will become a scientist or maybe I will play baroque music for the rest of my life. I don’t know yet. Right now I am enjoying learning and all the opportunities I have.” \nProgramme:  \nTalented musicians\, led by UC Music Professor Mark Menzies\, will perform Vivaldi Recorder concerto “La Notte” RV 439\, Concerto Grosso “Beatles Go Baroque” and other hidden gems of Baroque music. \nRecorder – Lily Doak\nViolin – Mark Menzies\nCello – Tomas Hurnik\nHarpsichord – Daniel Cooper\nString ensemble of the University of Canterbury \nEvent details: \n“Beatles go Baroque” – Baroque Music Community is on 21 June at 2pm at The Piano: Centre for Music and the Arts. Tickets $30 adult\, $20 senior\, $10 student\, $5 child. Buy tickets here. Door sales also available.\nTogether Again is on Monday June 22\, 7.00pm at The Great Hall\, Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora. Tickets $20\, $10 concession. Buy tickets here. \n

SUMMARY:Teacher Training in Music Technology MUSIC & VIDEO PRODUCTION Christchurch
DESCRIPTION:Producing quality videos for online submissions\n\n\nAs a result of COVID19 many school competitions such as Rockquest and the Chamber Music NZ Competition are now inviting video submissions of school bands and ensembles. \n​While these competitions don’t require a top quality studio recording of your school groups\, wouldn’t it be nice to know how to get much better quality video and audio than just recording on someone’s phone or sticking up a handycam for the group to perform to? \n​In 2019 one of groups from St Andrew’s College won the national Bandquest competition with this video recorded in their music room. If you would like to make videos which sound and look like this\, then these workshops are for you. \n​Topics covered: \n\n\nEquipment required including what software to use\, what microphones to buy\, the best audio interfaces for a high school budget. \n\n\nHow to setup DAW templates for fast recording and mixing \n\n\nWhat is the best way to record experienced and inexperienced bands \n\n\nHow to mix quality recordings within the ‘rules’ set out by the Rockquest\, Bandquest and Chamber Music competitions \n\n\nWhat are the best software plugins to buy (including highlighting the latest trends in the mixing world that greatly simplify the mixing process). \n\n\nHow to use free video editing software to create multi-angle music videos \n\n\n​ \nDuncan Ferguson will be running two days of workshops in July (prior to the Rockquest submission date) where you can join in on the recording of his year 7-9 band “Black Wired” (featured in the video linked to above). On Saturday 4 July the day will be a hands-on session showing how to select and setup all the gear\, and run a recording session while videoing the performance. Sunday 5 July will be dedicated to mixing the performance and creating the final video. \n​The Christchurch workshops will be the best and most hands on days and teachers are encouraged to attend these first and foremost.  Please note\, while the main focus will be recording rock bands for Rockquest we will also be covering recording other ensembles such are Chamber Groups and Choirs. \n​However\, for those that are unable to travel to Christchurch Duncan will offer one-day versions of these workshops in Auckland and Hamilton on 13-14 October. Note\, there will be no ‘live’ recording session for the Auckland and Hamilton workshops\, but we will do our best to cover all the same material in one day\, including giving hands on lessons on how to do all the post-production mixing and video production work. \n​These days will be suitable for beginner and experienced teachers including primary and intermediate music specialists. For those that haven’t done any recording of music before Duncan will send out some guidelines for what you need to know to prepare for these workshops so you can get the most out of them. \n\n\n\n\n\nVENUES AND DATES\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCHRISTCHURCH\n\n\nSaturday 4 July \nSt Andrew’s College \nRecording and videoing \n\nCHRISTCHURCH\n\n\nSunday 5 July \nSt Andrew’s College \nMixing & Post Production \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAUCKLAND\n\n\nTuesday 13 October \nVenue TBC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHAMILTON\n\n\nWednesday 14 October \nVenue TBC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n$159 + GST per day for Auckland and Hamilton.\n$270 + GST for both Christchurch workshops (or you can attend just one of the days in Christchurch for $149 + GST)\nAll workshops run from 9.30am–2.45pm.\nPayment is due on receipt of invoice and must be paid \nin advance. No refunds will be given for non-attendance. \nPlease note: morning tea will be provided but you will need to provide your own lunch. \n​\n\n\nPlease click here to register for these workshops

SUMMARY:KBB Music Fesival
DESCRIPTION:The Auckland Secondary School’s Music Festival Trust is excited to announce the KBB 2020 Band & Orchestra Showcase. We are offering our participating schools – and any other schools who would like to come on board – a chance to present some of their planned 2020 repertoire to a wider audience. Owing to the hugely decreased time for preparation and difficulties faced by different schools\, the performances will not be formally adjudicated. However\, this change in format also presents us with a unique opportunity – we would like to get to know you\, the staff and students of our KBBMF ensembles\, better than ever before. \nOur Facebook traffic suggests that one of the main reasons that young people come to our page is for links to past photography and videos. Using that as a starting point\, we’ve come up with a format for a KBB Music Festival YouTube channel which will showcase the work being done in schools\, to an audience both with the Auckland region and beyond. \nThe KBB 2020 Band & Orchestra Showcase invites participants to submit: \nApproximately 10 minutes of video footage of your band/orchestra performing some of their 2020 repertoire. The festival may be able to coordinate assistance for this process if needed. \nA three-minute\, behind-the-scenes video revealing the ‘unique character’ of your ensemble; the sort of thing that the audience at KBBMF never gets to see. \nThese videos will be compiled and uploaded to the newly create KBB Music Festival YouTube channel. \nWe would like entrants to register their intention to participate in the online festival by Wednesday July 1st\, to give us time to prepare. \nVideos would need to be uploaded to the KBB Music Festival Website by Friday 21st August to be eligible for awards. There is no competitive aspect to this year’s musical performances\, but our sponsors have offered to select their picks of the best/funniest/most effective behind-the-scenes videos and offer some fun prizes. \nIdeally groups would submit videos in both categories. We will perform some minimal processing on the footage to achieve some consistency by attaching identifying festival logos/title screens etc. Depending on the situation faced by your department\, you may find that it is only realistic to bring off one of these video projects\, not both. You are still welcome to submit one project and not the other. \nSchools with multiple ensembles are of course welcome to submit multiple videos. \nThere will be NO FEE for involvement in the KBB Music Festival during 2020. \n  \nRegistration and details at: \nhttps://www.kbbmusicfestival.co.nz/

SUMMARY:Developing Language Through Music And Dance For Teachers Of 4-7 Year Olds
DESCRIPTION:VENUE: University of Auckland Epsom Campus\, 74 Epsom Ave\, Auckland\nGate 3 B Block (first building on the right) \nThis event includes two x 105 minute workshops: \nSound and symbol – connecting music and language\nA child’s early years offer opportunities to develop a musical identity and discover the “musical self”. The natural connection between words\, images and sounds found in poetry and books provides useful starting points for music-making at all levels. This workshop explores a range of music possibilities including rhythmic layering\, adding background music\, developing musical themes to represent characters\, and vocal exploration and songs to represent key ideas in stories and poems. \nDancing Music to life\nEvery story has a dance in it ! This workshop will find those dance story possibilities and get your words moving. Dance has its own language and the more familiar we are with it\, the more naturally the links to literacy come to mind. From word warm ups to dancing stories\, this workshop will not only get you thinking. It will also be a lot of fun ! \nPRESENTERS: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobyn Trinick\nRobyn is an expert and highly experienced teacher and presenter who works in teacher education at the University of Auckland.

She will encourage you in a safe\, inclusive environment to spread your wings and weave the arts into all areas of children’s learning.
