2011 - I will give a teacher training workshop to the IRMT on using preschool music techniques to teach aural and theory to older children.

I have given training workshops with the following titles:

Speaker at NZ Multiple Birth Association Conference 2010.

Taming Toddlers Through Music - Burwood Plunket rooms

Improvisation with preschoolers - Canterbury Musical Parenting

Composition with preschoolers - Canterbury Musical Parenting

Using the elements of music in an Early Childhood setting - Preschool teachers in Oxford

Using music in the classroom

Parent training

Both the Early Childhood Curriculum (Te Whaariki) and the New Zealand Primary School Curriculum contains music. Often teachers can be nervous about teaching a subject which comes with a completely different language and a few hundred years of history.

That's where I come in. Using plain language throughout I teach you not only what the elements of music are - but how to teach them to others. I teach in the same way your students will learn - through musical play. You will see your resources in a whole new way on your return to your centre/school, and feel confident to use music throughout the curriculum - not just in Music lessons.

If you are enjoying music classes and would like to know more then contact me to be added to my mailing list. Makingmusicfun@xtra.co.nz

Throughout the year I run courses to upskill parents to use music in their own homes with their children. Courses for 2010 may include:

Supporting your child as they learn an instrument.

Taming Toddlers through music.

The elements of music - a parent's eye view.

If you are a home educator or nanny you will find this great professional development.

Prices

Prices vary depending on travel, venue costs and subject. As a rough guide parent courses will be $10-20 per person and held at a community centre or Plunket room. Teacher courses tend to be longer and would be around $150-$300 per course (not per person) at your venue.
