The Modern Classroom

Behaviour management and creativity through music.

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.

Professional Development

Live - in school

There are many challenges in the busy classroom such as behaviour management, a full curriculum, busy school calendar and more.

Join a Musica Viva Australia presenter in a workshop that focuses on how music activities can enhance your teaching strategies and classroom environment through creativity, self expression and music appreciation.

AT THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL:

engage in creative and interactive activities involving singing, playing, moving and listening to engage and extend students in their learning
explore a range of strategies for integrating music across behaviour management strategies
scaffold activities from simple to more complex
discover the benefits of music in fostering connection with you and your students

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."
