SUMMARY:ZOOM session: Leading out of White Spaces with Ann Milne
DESCRIPTION:In the last two years\, Covid-19 has forced us to approach our teaching differently and we have been confronted by the disparities that are the reality for many of our learners. As we\, once again\, return to our schools\, what did we learn and what have we changed? As you planned with your staff for this year\, does 2022 look like business-as-usual or even\, with contingencies in place for keeping children safe\, a tweaked version of that familiar ‘normal’? The truth is that Māori\, and the other students we minoritise never have been\, and never will be\, safe in that normal. For these young people it’s “distance” learning all the time\, whether the lessons are coming via an app on a laptop\, or Mum’s phone\, or directly from the teacher standing in front of you\, it’s all disconnected. \nWhen our ‘normal’ Western\, whitestream model of schooling is the problem\, school leaders have both the responsibility\, and the unique opportunity to lead us away from this practice. But how much change are we really prepared to make? Why is better literacy\, numeracy\, or NCEA scores simply not good enough? Why don’t our one-off days or weeks\, the te reo Māori labels\, the murals or carvings dotted around our schools\, or our kapa haka ‘improve’ our achievement levels? How does a critically conscious\, culturally sustaining curriculum really make a difference and how do you embed this practice in your leadership and your school? \nBio \nDr Ann Milne \nDr Ann Milne is a Pākehā educator\, writer\, researcher\, and former school principal whose work challenges the whiteness of our education system and focuses on a critically conscious\, culturally sustaining learning approach centred on students’ cultural identities. Her book\, Colouring in the White Spaces: Reclaiming Cultural Identity in Whitestream Schools\, was published in 2016 and her services to education were recognised in 2020 when she was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. After retiring from her principal’s role five years ago\, she established Ann Milne Education and Ann Milne Online to share her long leadership experience in this area with schools and institutions who want to think differently about their practice.

SUMMARY:MENZA Online Workshop: Releasing Students' original music works into the marketplace

SUMMARY:MENZA Workshops and AGM
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE OF MENZA AGM\n18 June 2022\, Newlands College\, WellingtonWorkshops: 1.30-2.30pm\n\nPrimary/Intermediate workshop with Makaira Waugh and Rawiri Hindle\, and launch of the new Poutokomanawa resource: Te Koha a Tāne\nSecondary workshop is a Q&A session on the RAS with Matt Stenbo\n\n\nMENZA AGM: 3-4pm \nPlease RSVP here by Thursday 16 June for catering purposes and to obtain the ZOOM links to the AGM and both workshops. We look forward to welcoming you to the MENZA AGM and/or workshops! \n \n\n\nTe Koha a Tāne education resource launch\nTe Koha a Tāne is a new music and movement resource for Y0-8 kaiako from the Poutokomanawa team who brought you Aruaru ki Tawhiti/Chase across the Waves. The beautifully illustrated resource retells the story of Rātā and the Waka from the tree’s perspective\, exploring the conservation theme through 10 episodes of hands-on music\, dance\, drama and art activities that any kaiako can deliver. Featuring original waiata and karakia that encapsulate the learning\, the resource will be free to download in both te reo Māori (coming soon) and English versions from the MENZA website\, along with videos and other online support material to assist your teaching. \nThe one hour workshop will be an opportunity to meet the creators\, celebrate the launch of the resource\, and take part in a series of short music and movement activity examples including a new waiata featuring music by Kiwi Kidsong writer Radha Sahar (nee Wardrop). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKia ora e te whanau \nThe MENZA AGM will be held on the 18th July at Newlands College at 3pm and will be live-streamed. If you would like to attend the AGM and/or workshops (1.30-2.30pm\, also to be live-streamed) please RSVP here (for catering purposes and ZOOM links\, which will be available for the AGM and both workshops). \nDue to a recent resignation of a Board member\, the MENZA Board at the time of the AGM will have five elected Board members and three co-opted Board members\, however\, the MENZA Constitution states that we should have nine elected members to be on the board\, therefore we will need to have an election. \nIn regards to electing Board members\, the MENZA constitution states the following: \n8. ELECTIONS \n\n\nThe period during which voting may take place in elections for the Board shall be determined by the Board and shall include the day of the Annual General Meeting. Where distance voting is to occur the period shall begin not more than fourteen and not less than seven days prior to an Annual General Meeting. \n\n\nNominations for Board members as defined in 7(a)(i) shall be forwarded in writing to the Secretary no less than twenty-eight days prior to the date at which voting begins. \n\n\n(c) Each nomination shall incorporate the signatures of a proposer and a seconder who must both be then current financial members and shall be also signed by the nominee signifying acceptance of the nomination. In the event of there being fewer written nominations received by the due date than the number of Board members allowed for in 7 (a) (i) above\, further nominations may be sought by a committee set up by the Board for this purpose and called the Nominating Committee. \n\n\nI would like to put forward to the members that we vote to fill the four vacant positions on the board. Currently\, the three co-opted members on the board are Charlotte Nicklin\, Christian McDonald and Makaira Waugh. They have indicated that they would like to continue their time on the board and put themselves forward to be elected onto the MENZA Board. \nAs we have three MENZA members putting themselves forward to be on the Board we are seeking at least one other member to put themselves forward. If there are more than four members seeking a position on the board\, an election will be held. As the Chair\, I would like that position to be elected at the AGM. This means that for this election\, the time frames to elect new board members will be different to the constitution. \nI propose the following dates: \n\n8th June: Nominations close for the four vacant positions on the Board. Click here for a nomination form.\n10th June: Information regarding the nominations will be sent out to MENZA members. Online voting will open.\n16th June: Online voting closes\n18th June: At the AGM\, members in attendance will vote. Both online and in-person votes will be counted. The new members elected to the Board will be announced.\n\nIf any members object to this process can you please email admin@menza.co.nz before the 8th of June 2020. We will then follow the process that is outlined in the Constitution. If you would like to discuss the process further or are interested in joining the MENZA board please email me directly at: blau@newlands.school.nz. \nBen Lau\nMENZA Chair \nRSVP for AGM&workshops and ZOOM links\nMENZA Board Nomination Form

SUMMARY:Wellington Orchestra Festival
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance led by arranger and conductor\, Richard Oswin\, for primary and intermediate students who can read music and play an instrument. \nThis is an ideal opportunity for students who practice mostly on their own to join other students and make music in one big ensemble. The technical difficulty of the music is suitable for students in their second or third year of practice and while it is an orchestra\, there are kit\, hand percussion\, guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, xylophone and recorder parts. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day\, nearly prepared to play up to 6 pieces. Schools might use the repertoire to play in their own ensemble\, but this is not essential. \nThe day begins with a massed rehearsal\, followed by sectionals and finishes with a concert of the 6 pieces. Repertoire ranges from the Baroque to songs from musicals and pop/rock music. \nContact calvertj@scotscollege.school.nz if you have any questions. We’d love to encourage new schools and students to participate in this event. It’s a fine-tuned machine now\, so come and join the fun. \nClick here to register

Including performances and mentoring from the members from leading National bands and ensembles. \nWeBO offers both schools and community ensembles a truly encompassing festival. \nFor schools\, WeBO offers an all-in-one experience for all ensembles with the ability for the different ensembles to perform on different days\, giving all students an opportunity to perform and learn. \nHear professional ensembles perform at one of the evening Gala Concerts and attend mentoring with great educators as well as Band Director professional development sessions. \nWith the addition this year of a full line up of workshops\, teacher professional development days and a new awards system\, WeBO makes it the perfect opportunity in term three for any school to participate. \n*Check out the WeBO 2022 Event Schedule \n*All performances and concerts at WeBO 2022 are accessible and free of charge to the public.   \nHow it All Works\nDaily Outline\nEach day features a key ensemble style split into morning and afternoon sessions\, with ensembles scheduled for their part of the day to perform on the main stage\, then moving to a private ensemble workshop directly after the performance with one of the clinicians. \nWhen not perfoming\, members of the ensemble are encouraged to attend the sessions remainng performances in the audience to support the other ensembles. \nBoth the morning and afternoon sessions have complimentory workshops and mentoring sessions running all day so ensembles can perform for example in the morning session then attend workshops in the afternoon and the opposite for those performing in the afternoon. \n*Each day ends with an awards ceremony. \n  \nYour Ensemble Concert Performance\nEach ensemble has a performance time of 20 mins on the main stage and 5 mins either side for entering and leaving the main stage. \nPerformances will be evaluated by some of of New Zealand and Australia’s top educators and clinicians who will provide valuable written and spoken feedback on the  performances\, as well as taking a support clinic immediately afterwards. \nAfter your ensembles main performance the group will be taken to the workshop hall nearby for a short personal workshop with one of the clinicians who has watched and evaluated your performance. \n*The second hall is set to allow a quick transition for attendees and a more relaxed atmosphere for the workshop. \n  \nDaily Workshops\nDuring the course of the day a series of workshops and mentoring sessions are run in the morning then again in the afternoon. This allows WeBO participants the options of attending and supporting their performance session\, and also receive valuable tuition and support from our great mentors in workshops at the opposite part of the day. \n  \nAwards\nEvery ensemble performing receives a Platinum\, Gold or Silver participation certificate along with a director’s video containing the adjudicators voice over. WeBO is primarily a participation event\, so no matter your ensembles skill set\, or repertoire\, awards are given on key criteria that encompass all aspects of an ensemble. \n  \nEvening Concert Performances\n\nOn the evenings of the festival we have one WeBO Gala concerts with a combination of professional players\, ensembles and invited WeBO participants. \n  \n*Send questions and registrations to: education@musicworks.co.nz

SUMMARY:Clarinet ZOOM Masterclass with Yvette Audain
DESCRIPTION:Following the success (and fun!) of my clarinet workshop at the recent New Zealand Concert Bands Association (NZCBA) Festival\, and some exceptionally humbling encouragement from participants and band directors\, I’ve decided to host my first ever online workshop.\n\nDuring the first part I will introduce and discuss the many benefits and insights gained through my recent practice in long tones – this isn’t only a musical and technical practice as I’ve been discovering it to be way more holistic than that as a tool for mental and physical wellness.\n\nThis will be followed by an open forum to which I invite you to bring any questions you may have about your playing. Participants are also encouraged to contribute their own answers.\n\nSuitable for all ages and levels\, whether clarinet is your first\, second or umpteenth instrument! If you’ve found yourself teaching it when you haven’t been playing long yourself\, please don’t be shy to bring any questions relevant to that.\n\nThis workshop is also open internationally and while I may not be the number one clarinet expert in all the world\, I bring my own life experience and perspective as a musician\, composer\, teacher and human who has largely lived\, learned and loved life through the clarinet.\n\nPlease email me at audainmusic@gmail.com with your email address to register – I will send the Zoom link in a confirmation email upon receipt of payment.\n\nLooking forward to seeing you there with your clarinet\,\n\nYvette Audain (M.Mus\, GradDipTchg) 🙂\nhttp://www.yvetteaudain.com

The training is a chance to gain skills in this incredibly effective approach to music education\, while picking up lots of fun games\, songs\, dances and activities to share with children and adults\, and while developing your own musicianship skills. The training is also incredibly useful for community musicians and choir leaders. \nThis course is accredited towards the Australian Kodály Certificate in conjunction with Sound Thinking Australia under the leadership of James Cuskelly. The full certificate is three levels\, achieved over three years. The Muse intends to offer Level Two in 2024. The Kodály training will transform your teaching and you as a musician\, whether you are an experienced music specialist or a classroom teacher wishing to improve your musicianship and confidence teaching music or a musician with no teaching experience. \nWe are also offering two foundation musicianship courses for those with no formal western music training in the lead up to the course\, an online course with Lucinda in term four\, and a weekend in person course with Nikki Berry and Loren Easterbrook also in term four. \nThe 10 Days will cover: \n\nMusicianship: the study of sight-singing\, score reading\, aural perception\, musical dictation and analysis using the tools of the Kodály approach (tonic sol-fa\, rhythm syllables and Curwen hand signs).\n\n\nMethodology: the application of Kodály’s principles to the development of classroom and studio teaching programs that are suitable for Australasian children. It includes the study of: Curriculum development\, Teaching techniques\, Sequencing learning\, Lesson planning and assessment.\n\n\nTeaching techniques is the practical application of teaching strategies covered in Methodology.\n\n\nCultural materials involves learning\, collecting and analysing the folk music of New Zealand and other nations to determine its suitability for pedagogical processes outlined in methodology and its ability to support a developmental music program.\nAbout the Tutors\nDr James Cuskelly OAM is music teacher at St Joseph’s School (Stanthorpe)\, Immediate Past President of the International Kodály Society\, Director of the Summer School Music Program\, Director of the Cuskelly College of Music\, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Queensland (School of Education).James has a very broad base in education\, having taught in Kindergarten\, pre-school\, primary and secondary classrooms as well as in tertiary institutions since 1987.
