SUMMARY:Music Technology in the Classroom with Katie Wardrobe
DESCRIPTION:Katie Wardrobe is recognised internationally as a music technology trainer and consultant with a passion for helping music teachers. She runs workshops\, presentations and online training resources which focus on easy ways to incorporate technology – through a range of creative projects – into what teachers are already doing in their music curriculum. \nIn Christchurch she will run a series of workshops for both primary and secondary teachers. Teachers can attend a single workshop\, a half day or a full day of workshops\, whatever suits the best. \nPurchase your ticket and select your workshops through Eventbrite \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/music-technology-in-the-classroom-with-katie-wardrobe-tickets-26698982375 \nHere’s a summary of the workshops Katie will be presenting: \nWednesday 21 September \n9.00-10.30: Sibelius Basics: Get Started the Right Way \nLearn how to use Sibelius quickly and effectively\, the right way. This course assumes no prior knowledge\, so it’s perfect for new Sibelius users or for those that have some holes in their knowledge\, including teachers who want to brush up their skills (and stay a couple of steps ahead of students!)\, composers and arrangers who want to get started with creating their own digital scores and backing tracks and senior or tertiary level students who need to notate compositions or complete music assignments. You’ll learn how to set up a score\, input notes without using the mouse (using the computer keyboard\, or a MIDI keyboard)\, how to select music quickly\, best ways to copy and paste\, how to enter lyrics and chords\, adding dynamics\, articulations and repeat signs\, score-sharing techniques and lots of other time-saving tips. \n11.00-12.30: Sibelius Speedy Arranging: Scanning MDI files\, Workflow and Other Tips \nThis workshop is all about learning tips and tricks for quickly arranging music with Sibelius by scanning music or opening PDF files\, downloading and tweaking freely available MIDI files and using in-built Sibelius plugins and shortcuts. It’s ideal for music teachers that want to quickly create classroom arrangements for their students\, studio instrumental teachers or ensemble leaders who need to re-arrange\, transpose or simplify scores and parts and for composers. We’ll cover tips for successfully scanning printed music to make an editable score\, how to make use of MIDI files to save you time (and how to clean up the notation once imported!) and we’ll discuss workflow tips. \n1.30-3.00: Digital Portfolios \nDuring this workshop we’ll look at some of the ways music teachers can adopt easy-to-use technology to transform their music classroom. The workshop will cover two main areas: assisting student learning through a flipped classroom model and the creation of student digital portfolios using online music tools. We’ll discuss solutions for a range of school setups: BYOD schools\, schools with mixture of platforms and devices\, and schools just wanting to delve more into digital portfolio options. \n4.00-5.30: Flipping the Music Classroom \nWhat is a flipped classroom\, how does it work and why would I want it? By taking advantage of the shift in learning opportunities made available by technology\, you can harness the “natural” communication methods of students – all while simultaneously catering for different learning styles and paces. Pause\, rewind and fast forward the teacher! We’ll look at examples of real-life flipped music classrooms and teaching studios\, how you can use this model to reinvent the boring stuff and get quickly to the good stuff. And you probably already have almost all the tools you need to do it! \nThursday 22 September \n9.00-10.30: Notation on any device: Write Scores on your iPad\, Chromebook\, Mac or PC Laptop \nAn introduction to Noteflight – the online notation software solution that works on all platforms. During this session\, you’ll learn how you can use Noteflight in the teaching studio and classroom. Discover how quick it is to set up a score\, enter notes\, copy and paste music and transpose. Learn some tips and tricks and explore lesson plans and activities that you can use with your students. \n11.00-12.30: iPad Projects for the Music Classroom Hands On \niPads are a fantastic tool in the music classroom. They are highly portable\, multi-functional and there are a wealth of inexpensive creative apps available. This workshop will show you a range of easy\, adaptable projects for students of all ages. There will be ideas for the one-iPad classroom as well as for 1:1 iPad programs and everything in between. During the day we’ll focus on the learning outcomes that students can achieve with iPads in the music classroom. We’ll start with a series of creative projects using GarageBand including arranging\, composing and storytelling. We’ll then explore sound\, composition and performance with MadPad and finish with an app-smashing program music activity which combines storytelling\, images\, narration\, and mood music. We’ll also look at iPad extras and accessories such as equipment needed to plug in MIDI keyboards\, microphones and guitars and have an open apps question-time. \nCost of workshops: \nSIngle workshop $30 \nHalf day $50 \nFull day $100

SUMMARY:Music PD Day West Coast

Are you seeking ways of bringing great singing and movement back into the classroom? This workshop will show you how using the Kodaly method to teach singing\, moving and dancing which will ignite a real love of singing tunefully in your classes. \nTaking the Stigma Away from Theory \nwith Judith Bell \n A fun interactive workshop where we get to try out the games and activities that make theory so popular at year 6-9 level as well as discussing the strategies and resources for running an after school theory club. Although much of the workshop is “unplugged” the workshop also covers some engaging ways technology is used in the club. \nQuirky Choir \nwith Heather Libeau-Dow \nThis year I take Junior and Senior choir in a large primary school; and a choir for 5-12 year olds in a very small school. These are for “all-comers”  and the challenge is to deliver sessions that are energetic and captivating. \nThe voice in the body is the vehicle for expression; there is emphasis on good posture\, connected breathing and great diction. As repertoire is the key to success\, a wide range of material is carefully selected; including engaging NZ compositions and songs from around the world. Orff Schulwerk processes are evident throughout-incorporating vocal exploration\, movement \, rounds and improvisation. \nThis workshop is geared to teachers responsible for primary choirs and classroom/assembly singing. Reflection and discussion around developing positive choir culture will conclude this session. \nSing\, Dance and Play with Juniors \nwith Celia Stewart \nThis workshop will incorporate a range of great ideas that will empower all teacher to introduce music activities in to their daily programme. Using speech rhymes as the motivator we will explore singing\, moving\, and playing experiences that will engage young children. The main elements of music\, beat\, rhythm\, dynamics\, pitch\, tempo and tone colour will be experienced in simple ways that all teachers can enjoy with their students. \n  \nThe Presenters \n Kate Husband – I have been teaching in classes for the past twenty years. I work in year 1-6 classes throughout the school week and teach two choirs for the Christchurch School of Music on Saturdays. I have been trained in Level 1 Orff and am part way through learning the Level 1 Kodaly method. I grew up off and on on the West Coast and am lucky enough to spend many holidays each year in Okarito – my favourite place. I am passionate about keeping the art of music alive in our classrooms and in providing manageable ways for teachers to explore these too. \nJudith Bell –Judith Bell has run the Chisnallwood Intermediate School music programme since 1999\, which provides instrumental and vocal lessons\, she and directs performance music groups such as all-comers-orchestra\, Jazz\, Irish and rock\, theory club\, computer music and sound tech training. Prior to Chisnallwood\, Judith taught early childhood music classes and was an itinerant and private music teacher. She also does arranging and transcribing work. Judith played in the band Barock for over 25 years and now plays in 2 Big Bands. She is a music director for Christchurch’s Strum Strike and Blow Festival for ukuleles\, marimbas and recorders\, and involved in Junior Jazz Jam (for Primary school jazz bands) and the Christchurch Big Band Festival.

Other workshop topics Judith delivers include “Successfully Using Diverse instruments in a performance group” and “Easy jazz style and improvisation tips”. \nHeather Libeau-Dow After general classroom teaching Heather specialised in primary music for eleven years then lectured at the University of Canterbury – College of Education for another eleven years. Currently she has an interesting mix combining both areas – appraising College of Education primary teacher trainees on school placements; delivering choir/ class music programmes in two Christchurch schools and teaching singing from her private studio. Her Orff Schulwerk journey started more than a decade ago with VOSA Levels 1 and 2 in Melbourne; later completing the University of Waikato Post Graduate qualification and recently Level 4  in Hamilton with inspirational Orff educator Mary Helen Solomon from Florida. Heater’s practice is strongly influenced by on-going training in Orff-Schulwerk. In line with contemporary educational pedagogy\, this creative child centred approach scaffolds musical experiences through experiential learning. Integrating language\, movement and playing\, musical skills and concepts are explored in positive environment. \nCelia Stewart Celia has been involved in music education for many years as a primary and early childhood teacher\, lecturer in Early Childhood at the Christchurch College of Education\, primary music adviser in Canterbury with UC EdPlus at the University of Canterbury and National Facilitator in Primary Music for the Ministry of Education.

Using speech rhymes as the motivator we will explore singing\, moving\, and playing experiences that will engage young children. The main elements of music\, beat\, rhythm\, dynamics\, pitch\, tempo and tone colour will be experienced in simple ways that all teachers can enjoy with their students. \nJudith Bell – Taking the Stigma Away from Theory\nA fun\, interactive workshop where we get to try out the games and activities that make theory so popular at year 7-8 level as well as discussing the strategies and resources for running an after-school theory club.

The workshop will cover lyric writing and song specific composition techniques. \nLinda Webb – Advocating for Prmary Music – A discussion workshop – FREE \nWe invite all interesed teachers to share their thoughts on how MENZA can best respond to the NMSSA report by contributing to our Primary Advocacy Statement at a group discussion.  \nIn her research paper\, “A Mismatch between Policy\, Philosophy and Practice” Linda Webb highlighted that changes in teacher education delivery over the previous decade had negatively impacted primary generalist teacher’s competence and confidence to teach music\, with the large majority not able to meet curriculum requirements and delivery expectations. \nLatest findings from the NMSSA has further proven the effect this is having on our children\, with only half of students at years 2 and 8 reaching the minimum scores associated with achieving curriculum at levels 2 and 4 respectively\, with low decile schools scoring\, on average\, lower than those attending high decile schools. Similarly\, Maori and Pasifika students\, who are more likely to attend mid-low decile schools\, scored on average lower than non-Maori and non-Pasifika students.

This workshop will show you how using the Kodaly method to teach singing\, moving and dancing which will ignite a real love of singing tunefully in your classes. \nTaking the Stigma Away from Theory \nwith Judith Bell \nA fun interactive workshop where we get to try out the games and activities that make theory so popular at year 6-9 level as well as discussing the strategies and resources for running an after-school theory club. Although much of the workshop is “unplugged” the workshop also covers some engaging ways technology is used in the club. It will also look at music learning and computational thinking and how they link into the new digital technologies curriculum. \nQuirky Choir \nwith Heather Libeau-Dow \nThis year I take Junior and Senior choir in a large primary school; and a choir for 5-12 year olds in a very small school. These are for “all-comers” and the challenge is to deliver sessions that are energetic and captivating. \nThe voice in the body is the vehicle for expression; there is emphasis on good posture\, connected breathing and great diction. As repertoire is the key to success\, a wide range of material is carefully selected; including engaging NZ compositions and songs from around the world. Orff Schulwerk processes are evident throughout-incorporating vocal exploration\, movement\, rounds and improvisation. \nThis workshop is geared to teachers responsible for primary choirs and classroom/assembly singing. Reflection and discussion around developing positive choir culture will conclude this session. \nMusic and Movement with Juniors \nwith Celia Stewart \nThis workshop will incorporate a range of great ideas that will empower all teachers to introduce music activities in to their daily programme. Using speech rhymes as the motivator we will explore singing\, moving\, and playing experiences that will engage young children. The main elements of music\, beat\, rhythm\, dynamics\, pitch\, tempo and tone colour will be experienced in simple ways that all teachers can enjoy with their students. \nThe Presenters \nKate Husband has been teaching in classes for the past twenty years. She works in year 1-6 classes throughout the school week and teaches two choirs for the Christchurch School of Music on Saturdays. She has been trained in Level 1 Orff and is part way through learning the Level 1 Kodaly method.. She is passionate about keeping the art of music alive in our classrooms and in providing manageable ways for teachers to explore these too. \nJudith Bell has run the Chisnallwood Intermediate School music programme since 1999\, which provides instrumental and vocal lessons and a wide range of performance music groups.

She is co-chair of Music Education Canterbury\, is on the MENZA board and has recently become a MusicEdNet mentor looking especially at computational thinking and music learning as the new digital technologies curriculum is implemented in NZ. \nHeather Libeau-Dow After general classroom teaching Heather specialised in primary music for eleven years then lectured at the University of Canterbury – College of Education for another eleven years. Currently she has an interesting mix combining both areas – appraising College of Education primary teacher trainees on school placements; delivering choir/ class music programmes in two Christchurch schools and teaching singing from her private studio.
