Classroom Music for the Generalist Teacher
Bring inclusive, hands-on music-making into your classroom!
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.
It's easier than you think to include diverse and meaningful music-making experiences in your classroom. By exploring the value of music for learning, teachers will be encouraged to bring singing, moving, composing and listening experiences into the classroom with practical ideas and strategies. No prior music experience necessary.
At this workshop you will:
- Develop confidence and skills to incorporate music in your classroom
- Scaffold activities from simple to more complex
- Become familiar with music syllabus language
- Explore simple pedagogical processes used in music learning
- Learn simple, practical strategies to engage students and enhance music learning
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
