The Singing Classroom with Sue Arney - PD Workshop Announcement.

Hello everyone,

We have just recieved our first approval for PD workshops in Term 2;  The Singing Classroom with Sue Arney.

"A Professional Learning program for generalist primary classroom teachers offering them support, confidence, skills and resources to sing more regularly with their students."

“Music education uniquely contributes to the emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth of all students.”

National Review of School Music Education, Australia, 2005

Imagine a school day where singing is an integral part of the program – not an add-on or an extra activity, but integrated into the existing daily program. aMuse is pleased to launch this exciting new program in 2012 aimed at providing generalist primary teachers with the skills and resources to build the confidence needed to sing regularly with their students!

“The key with meaningful music learning, is that it has to be ‘continuous, sequential and developmental’ for students to benefit. We know, for example, that as few as 23% of government schools are able to offer their students a music education which fits that bill - they would like to, but they lack the resources. In private schools, the number leaps up to 88%.”

In line with out promise to expand and provide PD out of our centralized Wodonga location, This PD will be held in Wangaratta on Sat 11 May 2013 (full day).  As usual it will be a catered workshop with a booking fee of $10 for CRTs and $30 for other teaching professionals.  Bookings will be opened first to CRTs and to other teaching professionals at a later date.

This will be a Pdi approved workshop with an maximum attendance of 40.

Full details will be released soon including venue, times and booking details.

Notes:  

The booking period will be shorter than the usual 6 weeks which is why you are getting an early "heads up".  Please keep an eye out for the full announcement!

Other PD is currently being arranged.  Although this is the first to be approved, it may not be the first to run!  Please keep an eye out for these announcements too!
