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 syllabi and to the AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers. Musica Viva Australia is a NESA-recognised Professional Development provider.
Have you ever wondered how everyday classroom music-making supports children’s social and emotional learning? This interactive webinar explores how musicking — singing, playing, moving, listening and creating together — can provide rich opportunities for children to practise skills such as self-awareness, self-management, empathy, cooperation, relationship building and responsible decision-making.
Through practical, accessible musical games and activities, participants will explore ways to recognise and intentionally nurture the social and emotional learning already happening within classroom music experiences. The webinar will focus on approaches that can be adapted to different ages, contexts and levels of musical confidence.
AT THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL EXPLORE:
-
Discover a variety of practical activities ready to take into your classroom
-
Explore how SEL through muskicking might look in your own classroom
-
Reflect on your current practice and exchange ideas with other educators
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This workshop is curated for generalist primary classroom teachers and primary 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
"This is the first time I have undertaken digital PD through Musica Viva and it was fantastic. I live in a rural town and do not always have the opportunities to receive high quality PD in my area."
