A multimedia multicultural musical experience

Using technology to combine rhythmic, melodic and visual elements, Amanaska brings to schools an engaging multicultural multimedia performance which is both exciting and uplifting. Amanaska shows students just how easy it is to create their own compositions by demonstrating principles of recording, looping, layering and sampling throughout their performance.

Amanaska is a fresh and innovative multimedia ensemble that creates a unique musical experience for students encouraging them to develop new skills and to investigate a broad range of music and cultures through the exploration of technology.

Round the World in 80 Gigs is a Live Performance Plus performance.

Live Performance Plus offers the unique experience of Live Performance by a professional music ensemble at your school, supported by professional development for teachers plus resources for teaching music in your classrooms.

The Professional Development is a three hour session held in a venue close to a number of participating schools.

The Teaching Resources incorporate a variety of activities related to the music of the live performance ensemble, which together can create a term of lessons. The resources link to literacy, numeracy and ICT for all ages from lower primary through to junior secondary. Also included are an audio CD with the ensemble’s music, activities and support materials.

In 2012 Live Performance Plus will include NEW interactive resources for the digital classroom. These resources are cross-platform and will operate on interactive whiteboards, or on computers and with data projectors. They are complimentary to the existing resources and provide engaging activities for your students understanding as well as quality teaching.
