SUMMARY:MENZA WOF 2024 (Wellington Orchestra Festival)
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance for Primary and Intermediate-aged students who can read music and play an instrument. \nWOF 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. \nWe have six pieces arranged by Richard Oswin\, ranging from classical favourites to film scores and pop hits. \nThis 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. \nWOF 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. \nSchools 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. \nContact Joanna Calvert if you have any questions. We encourage new schools and students to participate in this event… come and join the fun.

SUMMARY:SECRET SONG  - MEC celebrates 50 years
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a movie night\nMonday September 30th (the start of the school break!) \n  \nas Music Education Canterbury (MEC) celebrates 50 years 1974-2024 \n5:15pm mix and mingle \n6pm “The Secret Song” (brought back to show in NZ by popular request) \nTickets available from lumierecinemas.co.nz/movie/the-secret-song \n$10 tickets (MEC/MENZA price) \n$20 full price \n  \nAbout the movie \nFor 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. \nA 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.
