Music and Play
Unlock the Joy of Music & Play
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.
Research shows that music is a powerful tool in early childhood education, supporting the development of logic, problem-solving, and enhanced language acquisition, but how can we integrate music and play into the curriculum and the busy school day?
Come along and experience how music, movement, and playful storytelling can fit naturally into a busy classroom. You’ll take away practical ideas you can immediately use and make every day more playful!
This workshop is aimed at the generalist teacher and music specialist.
AT THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:
- engage in a variety of activities involving listening, chanting, singing, playing and moving
- explore music and play as a basis for creativity, self-expression, connection and communication in your classroom
- explore social, emotional and other skills developed in a musical setting
- discover ways that music can support vocabulary development, focus and listening through play
- scaffold activities 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."
