Kate has taught classroom music for fifteen years at both state and independent schools and is currently the Coordinator of Curriculum Music at Ambrose Treacy College in Brisbane.  She is a Past President of Kodaly Queensland and loves finding new ways to engage her choral and classroom music students. \nPresentation 1 (All In Session): A community sing to start the day – a mashup of a hymn & pop song for your classroom students or for your choir  \nPresentation 2 (Primary Methodology): Engaging activities for all ages that promote the development of musicianship through both rigor and creativity   \nPresentation 3 (Elective Session): But does it work in Secondary? Engaging older students with an aural vocal approach  \nPresentation 4 (Elective Session): Activities and assessment to ‘turn on’ the most ‘turned off’ students   \nPresentation 5 (Primary Choirs): Music to Everyone’s Ears: developing a choral program that meets the needs of you\, your singers\, your organisation and your concertgoers    \nMelissa Foss\nWINNER: 2022 Award for Excellence in Kodály Education (Early Career) \n \nMelissa Foss is a Primary Music Teacher currently working at Bannister Creek Primary School in Perth\, Western Australia. She teaches music to students from Kindergarten through to Year 6\, with the co-curricular ensembles of Senior Choir\, Junior Choir and Concert Band. Outside of school\, Melissa spends her Saturday’s teaching Junior Musicianship and Choir to the Smalley ensemble of Western Australian Young Voices (WAYV) and continues to teach private piano students after school.  \nSince her first music education unit at University\, Melissa has sought out as many professional development opportunities as were available and was particularly drawn to the Kodály philosophy and approach to music education. She has since completed the Primary 1 and Secondary 1 levels of the AKC\, in addition to a large number of Kodály courses and seminars locally\, interstate and internationally. She believes all students deserve a high quality music education with singing at its core to create a holistic\, joyful and engaging program\, where all students can find success and develop a love of music. Melissa is highly dedicated and deeply passionate about promoting best practice in music education and believes the Kodály approach embodies this. She currently serves as Secretary on the Kodály WA Branch\, and works towards sharing this vision with all.  \nPresentation 1 (Elective Session): Setting Up for Success: Tools\, Resources and Strategies for developing a Kodály Inspired Music Program  \nDeveloping a Kodály inspired music program can be overwhelming and knowing where to start and what to prioritise can be a challenge. This session is aimed at teachers who are early in their career\, newer to the Kodály approach\, or wanting to work out how to implement it more in their classroom. Participants will come away with ideas for short to long term planning\, lesson structures\, routines\, transitions\, using instruments and recommended resources. There will also be discussion around starting in a new school and where to start when the Kodály approach has not previously been used with students before.   \nDr Jason Goopy\n \nDr Jason Goopy is a Lecturer in Music Education at Edith Cowan University and coordinates secondary school and instrumental music education. He has previously held sessional academic roles at The University of Queensland and Griffith University and draws upon 15 years of leading arts programs and teaching music in Queensland combined primary and secondary schools.  Jason’s research investigates the interface between music education and music psychology using arts-based research methods.

Significant changes include opportunities for learning to now connect Western Art\, jazz and contemporary styles\, supplementary works\, authentic composition for all students\, and a focus on analysing music elements rather than historical facts. These syllabus changes will require a rethink of how lower secondary music prepares students for the senior years. This session will explore possibilities of how music learning in Years 7-10 could be backward mapped from the new ATAR syllabuses.  \nPresentation 2 (Elective Session): Opening DAWs in the Kodály classroom  \nDigital musicianship is a required skill for musicians of the future. Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) allow for the digital recording\, editing and production of audio files and present an opportunity to augment your existing classroom music program. This session will open doors by demystifying the popular digital audio software title\, SoundTrap. Foundational audio production concepts situated in the singing-based classroom will be introduced relevant to upper primary and secondary teachers. Participants will be empowered to begin experimenting with DAWs in their teaching and music making. This session will involve participant participation and collaboration. You are encouraged to bring a mobile device to the session\, pre-register for the free version of SoundTrap\, and connect to the ECU Guest WiFi.  \nPresentation 3 (Secondary Choirs): Come for the singing\, but stay for the learning  \nThe choral rehearsal can be a powerful music learning experience that complements and enriches the classroom program. Students will find meaning in rehearsals that continue to develop and extend their personal and collective music knowledge\, skills and understanding. This session will explore opportunities to seamlessly integrate classroom pedagogy into the secondary school choral program. Choir will be adopted as another music learning opportunity and draw upon pedagogical strategies from the classroom such as planning\, scaffolding\, use of musicianship tools\, singing technique and developing student musical independence.   \nPresentation 4 (All in Session): End the day with singing games applicable to upper primary and lower secondary.   \nHilary Keegan\n \nHilary Keegan studied Music Education at Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland\, the Kodály Institute in Hungary and was awarded the highest Honors in her Masters of Music\, in Music Education (with a Kodály emphasis)\, from Holy Names University\, California\, under the direction of Maree Hennessy.
