SUMMARY:Teacher Training in Music Technology MUSIC & VIDEO PRODUCTION Auckland
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:Music Curriculum Design for Deep Learning (Face to face workshop)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE FOR FACE TO FACE WORKSHOP\nIn this workshop for secondary school music teachers\, the elements of the Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC) will be used to design a unit of work. \nThe CDC model is currently being utilised in a research study in New Zealand and England and is proving very useful in enhancing teachers’ curriculum design knowledge.

SUMMARY:Free Music Therapy Webinar: Musicking and Cultural Identity
DESCRIPTION:Keeping Community in Mind: Musicking and Cultural Identity \nHave you ever seen a pipa or heard pipa music? The pipa is a four-stringed pear-shaped lute\, one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments with over 2000 years of history. Cici will share some of her pipa music and reflect on the relationship between music\, culture\, identity and wellbeing\, and invite you to experience a therapeutic sound-making journey. \nThe gayageum is a Korean traditional string instrument. Hyunah will introduce this instrument\, which is one of the geum family\, along with the zheng (China) and the koto (Japan). She will discuss the diasporic identity of Koreans in relation to gayageum performance\, with an understanding the meaning of gayageum music to Koreans in Dunedin. This presentation includes a gayageum demonstration. \nThe presentations will be followed by an opportunity for comments and questions. \nCici Kong was born in Dalian\, a beautiful Chinese coastal city where she started her musical journey when she was four\, singing in a children’s choir and later learning to play the pipa. She graduated with a Bachelor in Music Performance (Traditional Chinese Instruments) from Xiamen University of China in 2012. In 2013 and 2014\, she worked for the Confucius Institute at Victoria University of Wellington as a Mandarin language assistant\, offering Chinese language classes\, music workshops and music classes in schools and communities\, and performed in many quality events. Since 2018\, she has worked as a Registered Music Therapist\, after training at the New Zealand School of Music. Cici is passionate about helping children and adults to reach their potential and to build connections through positive music-making. She has worked with children with special needs at schools and adults with dementia and mental health issues in rest homes and daycare centres. Cici’s music therapy approach is person-centred and strengths-based. Cici loves the positivity when people and music come together\, and feels that she now has a better understanding of how to care for them with patience and compassion. \nHyunah Cho is a PhD candidate in music therapy research at the University of Otago. As a Korean Certificated Music Therapist (KCMT)\, she worked as a music therapist at a Korean psychiatric hospital and a Steiner school in South Korea before coming to New Zealand in 2016. Hyunah is interested in a holistic approach by understanding the cultural context of music therapy. As a New Zealand Registered Music Therapist\, Hyunah is providing music therapy sessions in Dunedin while finishing her thesis. \nRegistration closes on Sunday 18th October\, at 5pm

SUMMARY:Popular Music and Semiotic Analysis - a Method for School Educators
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will provide an easy to understand and apply method to help educators think about popular music analysis.\n\n\nClassical and Jazz based analytical tools are not broad enough to explore popular music in a holistic manner\, which requires consideration of culture and subtext through para-musical elements (e.g. video\, image etc)\, as well as harmony\, melody\, rhythm\, form etc. Semiotic analysis is useful in the study of popular music as it looks at both the sociological and musicological features of any given musical text. I teach semiotic analysis to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Musical Arts degree at MAINZ as a means to understand song and songwriting\, and this workshop will be a practical way to look at popular music analysis taking into account denotative and connotative components. \nMark Baynes is a jazz pianist with a contemporary leaning. Mark’s doctoral research has provided an analytical lexicon that can be used to understand music in terms of what is defined as consonance and dissonance found in western music as a whole. Although informed by academia\, Mark is primarily a performer\, composer and accompanist residing in Auckland\, New Zealand. Mark is a presenter of 95bFM’s The Jazz Show\, and writes the X-Factory column for NZMusician Magazine.  \n Mark currently works as a Programme Manager and Senior Lecturer of the Bachelor of Musical Arts Degree at the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand / Southern Institute of Technology.  \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Online Kodály Summer School Music Program
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.\n\nEarlier this year\, we announced that the Summer School Music Program would be going ahead in January 2021 and we have remained optimistic that we would be able to come together for our yearly gathering of learning\, music making and networking.\n\n\nHowever\, the course of the pandemic is unpredictable and in this uncertain climate it is necessary that we cancel any plans for a face-to-face Summer School. The ever-present threat of infection\, restrictions on gathering\, health advice about singing and playing\, ongoing border closures\, travel restrictions and quarantine periods means that it is not possible to guarantee the viability of our usual program. The safety of our staff and participants is our priority and it is essential that we do all we can to assist in minimising the spread of the virus.\n\n\nThe good news is that we are in the process of finalising our plans for a week of online sessions that you can see from the comfort of your own home or studio. There will be a dedicated pedagogy stream for classroom educators\, choral conductors\, and instrumental and studio teachers as well as an additional stream for performers – pianists\, instrumentalists and singers.\n\n\nWe will have many of our usual presenters involved but the flexibility of an online program allows us to include new faces and ideas with an expanded range of national and international presenters. This program will provide a chance to reflect on our teaching practice\, expand our thinking and meet with colleagues from all over Australia and the world!\n\n\nThe program will have a morning block of sessions from 8:30 – 12:30 (30 minutes break between each session) and an evening block from 16:00 – 20:00 (again with 30 minutes between each session). This means that we can include an extensive line-up of international presenters from a range of time zones and happily there is a long break for a swim\, a long lunch or a siesta!\n\n\nDetails on the scope of this program will be available soon but in the meantime\, make sure you’re following our Facebook page for any further updates. To be added to our mailing list\, please email office@cuskellymusic.com.\n\n\nWe are looking forward to seeing you all in the the Online Summer School Music Program from January 11th – 15th!\n\n\nJames\, Michael and Hayley\n\n\n– The Cuskelly College of Music team

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/
