Singing in the Classroom
Singing in the Classroom
Unlock the power of singing in your teaching!
Our Professional Development workshops give you the confidence and tools to deliver music lessons in the classroom. Covering basic elements from the F-10 music curriculum, you will develop skills, ideas, and activities for immediate use. All events are designed for both generalist classroom teachers and music specialists.
All workshops are curriculum aligned to the relevant State music syllabus and aligned to AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers. Musica Viva Australia is a NESA-recommended provider because we currently run programs that are NESA-accredited.
Why sing? Apart from being great fun, it connects us to others, and the voice is the most accessible and fundamental of all instruments! Join us for an interactive session of singing and music-making for the primary classroom.
At this workshop you will:
- Explore different songs and repertoire for classroom use
- Learn a variety of warm up and song teaching ideas and techniques
- Look at strategies to create a simple arrangement for a song
- Scaffold the activities above from simple to more complex
Who should attend:
These events are designed for both generalist classroom teachers and music specialists.
While our resources and PD are primarily aimed at Primary School teachers, all are welcome, including:
- primary school teachers
- pre-service teachers
- school leaders with an interest in music education for primary school students
"Musica Viva PD has given me so many ideas to refresh my teaching & create new learning experiences for my students."
