Improvisation Made Easy - For Everyone!
Discover the Power of Musical Improvisation
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.
This PD Webinar is TQI approved for 2 hours.
We make things up everyday as we go about our lives, but what does it mean to improvise in music and what are the benefits? Open to anyone with any level of musical experience. Simply bring your curiosity and willingness to play and try things out in the interactive session combining music, movement and playing!
At this workshop you will:
- discover accessible entry points into improvisation through voice, movement and percussion
- explore improvisation as a basis for creativity, self-expression, connection and communication in your classroom
- appreciate all the ways in which your students (and you) already improvise without realising
- try simple composition techniques for use in the classroom
