A Music and Cognitive Development PD with presenter Sue Arney.
Video - Wangaratta presentation 2013
As can be seen in the above video this is a hands-on, activity-based PD aimed at incorporating music into the mainstream classroom. Not only is it a valuable educational experience for teachers, it's a fun and entertaining day with your colleagues!
A Professional Learning program for generalist primary classroom teachers offering them support, confidence, skills and resources to sing more regularly with their students.
“Music education uniquely contributes to the emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth of all students.” National Review of School Music Education, Australia, 2005
Imagine a school day where singing is an integral part of the program – not an add-on or an extra activity, but integrated into the existing daily program.
aMuse launched this exciting new program in 2012 aimed at providing generalist primary teachers with the skills and resources to build the confidence needed to sing regularly with their students!
“The key with meaningful music learning, is that it has to be ‘continuous, sequential and developmental’ for students to benefit. We know, for example, that as few as 23% of government schools are able to offer their students a music education which fits that bill - they would like to, but they lack the resources. In private schools, the number leaps up to 88%.”
The Singing Classroom can be delivered in your school anywhere in Victoria throughout 2013. This program has been designed and developed by the Association of Music Educators.
The Singing Classroom workshops will:
- Provide skills and resources for generalist teachers to enable more singing in the classroom
- Build confidence in generalist primary teachers to sing with their students
- Provide techniques to lift the profile of singing in schools and classrooms
- Demonstrate ways of integrating singing into dedicated music sessions as well as into the general curriculum
