The possibilities with music education are endless ! There's always something new we can learn as teachers .. always new ideas and techniques that can be applied to the learning of music. Most schools offer music programs that come from a more formal perspective with emphasis on the reading of music. However there can be many other essential aspects of music that, if incorporated into a school program, would provide children with a more complete foundation in music.
Because my background in music is very diverse there are many ways in which I can help improve music teaching programs in schools, and also a teachers personal skills as a musician and music teacher. I'm always willing to have a preliminary chat with music teachers about their own or their school's individual needs and circumstances, to ascertain how my services may be of value.
Here are a few areas in which my consultations and training may work for you and your school :
- Implementing new and creative ideas in general for teaching music
- Introducing new styles of music to your students
- Ways to unleash more of your students natural abilities
- Methods for teaching children improvisation skills
- Developing the musical 'ear' of your students
- Ideas for implementing music with younger grades
- Ways to teach and clarify music theory that are fun for children !
- Implementing small group playing into your music program
- Combining vocals with instrumentals
- Song writing techniques and ideas
- Developing teacher's personal instrumental skills
Consultation and training sessions can be tailored to suit individual school and teacher requirements. Session durations can be 60, 90 or 120 minutes. I come to your school !
