How is musicology building its relevance to other musical and broader disciplines and practices? How can these relationships be deepened?

Proposed changes to MENZA
Due to the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, MENZA (Music Education New Zealand Aotearoa) has to update its Constitution. The Board has been working hard on this with the assistance of Maude and Miller and is asking the membership to adopt the new constitution at the next AGM.
The draft constitution was first presented to the membership at last year’s AGM, and feedback was received. Another draft version was presented at the Special General Meeting in Oct 2023, where more thorough feedback was sought. After consultation with the membership and advice from lawyers, I will put forward the following motion:
I propose that the MENZA membership adopt the new Constitution presented to the membership on the 15th of June, 2024.
Please find a copy of the constitution to have a read-through.
I would also like to propose a change to our membership fees. Unfortunately, there are costs involved in running an organisation like MENZA. Although the board tries to seek funding from other external sources, we also heavily rely on membership fees. The proposed changes are as follows:

A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance for Primary and Intermediate-aged students who can read music and play an instrument.
WOF 2024 is happening as a precursor to MEFA at the end of Term 3. A huge thanks to Wellington College and Musicworks for supporting the 2024 festival.
We have six pieces arranged by Richard Oswin, ranging from classical favourites to film scores and pop hits.
This is an ideal opportunity for students who practice mostly on their own to join other students and make music as an ensemble. The technical difficulty of the music is suitable for students in their second or third year of learning onwards. Along with the four orchestra sections, there are parts for drum kit, hand percussion, guitar, bass, keyboard, Orff xylophone and recorders. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day, preparing to play all six pieces. Schools are also welcome to use the repertoire in their own ensembles during the year.
WOF is conducted by Mike Ashton. The day begins with a massed rehearsal, followed by sectionals led by musicians from Orchestra Wellington and finishes with a concert of the six pieces, which whanau can attend. The concert will also include a guest performance by Orchestra Wellington musicians.
Schools registered for WOF will also get the opportunity to take part in Orchestra Wellington’s Education in Schools Programme – Orchestra Wellington will come to your school to help prepare your students! Schools registered for WOF can sign up for this by contacting Hannah Neman.
Contact Joanna Calvert if you have any questions. We encourage new schools and students to participate in this event… come and join the fun. Sign up for WOF using the link below and then you will get sent the sheet music to start practising!

About the movie
For over four decades, Doug Goodkin nurtured the innate musicality in children as a pre-k through 8th grade music teacher in San Francisco. Dropping in on what would turn out to be a tumultuous final year of teaching, “The Secret Song” gives an intimate view into Goodkin’s teaching approach, the vibrant impact it has on students and alumni, and the value of musical improvisation in navigating real-world challenges.
A lifelong musician, Goodkin “loved learning, but hated school.” He seeks to teach children differently than the traditional lessons he was raised with. After a chance exposure with an alternative approach to music education in college, Goodkin would devote his life to teaching music in an accessible and enjoyable way. Goodkin’s time-tested methods are thrown into disarray as the COVID-19 pandemic forces the school into remote learning three months before Goodkin’s planned retirement. A program which once prioritized group-learning, movement, dance, and instilling music “through the ear, not through the eye” has to adapt to an online format. Goodkin’s close colleagues and friends, James Harding and Sofia Lopez-Ibor, who will take over the music program in his wake, share his heartbreak at the possibility he will not get a proper send off.

NZ Ukulele Trust Songwriting competition
2024-11-01 17:00 (Pacific/Auckland)
Uke-Can-Do-It-for-MENZA
The New Zealand Ukulele Trust invites all Year 5-13 students in NZ to enter our songwriting competition which closes on Friday 1st November 2024. With time running out quickly and school holidays around the corner, we are asking Head of Music Departments (or any lead teacher who can talk to the appropriate age groups for their school) to share this competition with their students. Students do not need to be in a ‘Kiwilele’ school to enter. There may be budding vocalists, poets and musicians who aren’t experienced in the ukulele, but who may be able to submit an amazing song with basic chord progressions that would suit beginner ukulele players.
Further details can be found on our website: https://www.nzukulele.org.nz/uke-can-do-it.html and the attached flyer which we would appreciate if you could share either in school newsletters, assemblies or in class.
Thank you for any support you can give us in encouraging the imagination and creativity of your tamariki through this musical competition.
Nga mihi,
Sean Dean

Working with Neurodiverse Students
The neurodiversity paradigm is a framework for understanding human brain function that considers the diversity within sensory processing, motor abilities, social comfort, cognition, and focus as neurobiological differences. This diversity falls on a spectrum of neurocognitive differences. The neurodiversity paradigm argues that diversity in neurocognition is part of humanity and that some neurodivergences generally classified as disorders, such as autism, are differences with strengths and weaknesses as well as disabilities that are not necessarily pathological. Neurotypical individuals are those who fall within the average range of functioning and thinking. 2.30 – 3.00 Yiyi Ku – My Journey with Kodi Lee – How I became his piano teacher, how I taught him, and what teaching him has taught me.
3pm Afternoon tea break
3.30 – 5.00 Julie Wylie – Working with Neurodiverse students
Julie will talk briefly about the neuroscience of musical play, key aspects of understanding the sensory needs of a person with neuro-diversity and how teachers can adapt their music to suit their students’ needs.
Julie will then present three case studies of children on the spectrum. Each one is very different but provides a clear understanding of how music can be used to help these children to make sense of their world and to restore order from what is often a very unpredictable and chaotic world.
She will then give short interactive improvised examples with other players on the keyboard showing ways that teachers can play alongside their students, giving rhythmic and melodic support to whatever the student creates.
Julie will then show us some simple improvisational techniques of how she has supported students she has worked with over the years at the Champion Centre.
Yiyi Ku is a pianist and teacher. She grew up in Christchurch, studied with Maurice Till and Deidre Irons, and received a Master of Music with Distinction from University of Canterbury. After graduating, she taught piano at Rangi Ruru and St Margaret’s College, before moving to the US in 2005. Yiyi also holds LRSM, Permanent Certification from Music Teachers National Association (USA), and Advanced Certification from Royal Conservatory of Music (Canada). While living in the US, Yiyi pursued extensive professional development, attending numerous state and national conventions on piano pedagogy, teacher training courses, including Dalcroze Institute at The Juilliard School, as well as private lessons with master teachers. She was also an active collaborative pianist, and was Principal Pianist at Temecula Valley Symphony Orchestra for many years. One of Yiyi’s former students is NZ composer Salina Fisher. Most recently, Yiyi has taught another world famous student – Kodi Lee, a blind and autistic musical savant who won America’s Got Talent. Yiyi moved back to Christchurch with her husband and daughter in 2022. She continues to teach many US students online and has a thriving local studio.
