Music Education Otago invites you to a workshop that combines elements of the new Digital Technologies Curriculum with Music.
Our presenters:
Judith Bell
Judith Bell leads the music programme at Chisnallwood Intermediate School in Christchurch, teaching performance music groups including rock bands, jazz bands, orchestra, percussion, Irish, ukulele, as well as a popular theory club, a computer music course and sound tech training. She is also is a mentor for MusicEdNet (Music Technology). Her work developing ways to integrate music learning with the new Digital Technologies Curriculum has led to workshop opportunities in Australia, Lithuania, USA, Scotland and Switzerland.
Professor Tim Bell
Tim Bell is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Canterbury. His “Computer Science Unplugged” project is widely used internationally. Tim has received many awards for his work in education including the international 2018 SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education.

Workshop Content:
Judith will share some of the successful and fun learning activities and games she uses at the popular after-school Chisnallwood music theory club. There will be a focus on activities that integrate elements of the new Digital Technologies curriculum with music learning related to theory. Some of these activities use computational thinking in an unplugged way, with sorting networks and Beebots. Judith will also share fun demo lessons for teaching music using Scratch. Tim will then be available to answer your Digital Technologies Curriculum questions, while Judith will delve into more music games, based on the interests of attendees. It is optional to bring a laptop with Scratch installed.

Presentation on TLIF Project – ‘Connecting the Dots’
2018-10-25 16:00 - 17:00 | Newlands Collge, 68, Bracken Rdd, Newlands, Wellington, New Zealand
TLIF Project – Connecting the Dots, presented by Ben Lau
When: 4pm, Thursday 25 October
Where: Newlands College, 68 Brackens Rd, Newlands
RSVP: blau@newlands.school.nz
‘Connecting the Dots’ Executive Summary:
This inquiry project is about how teachers can utilize the concepts of Ako and Tuakana Teina with the principles of El Sistema to raise educational outcomes for Maori learners and the specific teaching methods that will help develop skill acquisition that will raise achievement.
We have spent the past three years developing a Year 9 Music programme inspired by the principles of El Sistema (a music education approach that is focused on positive social change through music ensemble, particularly orchestral, playing) with some success. However, our focus has been aimed more at getting the programme off the ground and developing a culture and approach. There has been little focus placed on investigating more closely what the individual learner’s experience is and what the potential progression pathways are.
In this project, we are investigating ways to develop more collaborative and student-centred practices and to inquire more deeply into how these approaches actually enhance educational outcomes for our Maori learners. Will the incorporation of the concepts of ako and tuakana-teina relationships with the principles of El Sistema have a positive impact on Maori students’ achievement and how can our findings inform the wider curriculum?

Luca Ciarla Master Class classical trained string player improv.
2019-02-24 15:30 - 17:00 | Irish Society Hall, 29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon, Christchurch, 8025, New Zealand
Luca Ciarla presents a workshop focusing on the study of jazz and improvisation for string players. The experience gained over many years of teaching in American universities, in Hong Kong and at the Saint Louis Music College of Rome, one of the leading jazz schools in Italy, has brought him to develop an approach which allows classically trained string players to jump into the fascinating world of improvisation. Among violinists and string players in general, the desire of learning how to improvise is spreading up more and more.
Ethnic and folk traditions such as the Gypsy or the Indian, jazz music by the great Stéphane Grappelli and the Turtle Island String Quartet or the contemporary creations of Alexander Balanescu and Giovanni Sollima are getting wider attention and are now considered part of the established world of string playing. Luca Ciarla’s master classes and workshops are therefore an opening window on the realm of violin and string improvisation, through the analysis of several improvisational techniques, their application on the violin or other string instruments and the study of jazz and several popular traditions that require improvisational skills. Focusing primarily on the constant search for a creative drive, true goal of any improvising musician, students will have the chance to develop their own artistic language and their own musical personality.
Registration for this workshop $30. Bookings essential, only 30 spots available.
VENUE: Irish Society Hall, 29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon
The hall is situated up the long driveway, directly next to Domain Park, and there is plenty of well-lit off-street parking.
