A message from

our Director...

While there is no question that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted

our lives, it has also encouraged us to explore other opportunities.
While many of our usual activities have been put on hold, it is a
testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit that so
many of us have found ways to continue to pursue the things that
matter to us individually and collectively.

The Virtually Summer School Music Program features leading

educators, musicians, performers and composers drawn from the
global stage. The online format allows us to continue to broaden our
understanding, refine our skills and strengthen our community even in
these most challenging times. I commend you on your dedication to
our profession and trust that you will find the offerings in this
program stimulating, challenging and enriching.

I look forward to seeing you, virtually.

Dr. James Cuskelly

Wednesday, 13th January 11:30am - 12:30pm
Friday, 15th January 11:30am - 12:30pm

This course is designed to provide participants with practical ideas for how to effectively teach choral repertoire in a variety of
situations. We will learn new repertoire together in each session and discuss how musical ideas inherent in the repertoire can
guide your choice in how to best teach the music. In particular, this course will focus on:
Quality repertoire that is perhaps a little lesson known and drawn from a variety of stylistic periods.
Repertoire of a variety of levels ranging from simple unison to SATB.
Approaches to effectively teaching the repertoire in a variety of situations.

about his work in the field of avian calls and their integration into the processes of music
composition.

Repertoire Session - Canons

Monday, 11th January 10am - 11am
In this session Robert will introduce us to various rounds that he has written for use in the classroom and for choir. He will explain
how he uses them for warm-ups and in-tune singing, general whole-class music making/fun, melody and ostinato as
accompaniment, and the teaching of musical elements such as chord progressions, melody writing, basic counterpoint and the use
of passing notes and suspensions. He will also touch on how he uses these simple songs to introduce the students to inspirational
quotes and roverbs, some from other languages.

Composition Session - Canons

Thursday, 14th January 4pm - 5.30pm
In this session Robert hopes to teach us how to compose our own rounds, rounds that are tailor-made to the needs and culture of
our classes and choirs. He will deconstruct the round ‘Sikit Sikit’ exposing the compositional devices used in this work so that you
can employ them in your own. Throwing caution to the wind he then hopes to enlist your involvement in the writing of a new
round, which employs the Japanese maxim “Nana Korobi Ya Oki”.

practical and focused methodology. Beginning with a clear explanation of the language of chord symbols, the students will be
guided through essential piano voicings and an introduction to their application in different styles. Whether you are completely
new to jazz or wanting to brush up on some half-remembered skills, this session will give you a clearer sense if what we need to
practice in order to move on.

Songwriting and Arranging

Thursday, 14th January 6pm - 7pm
This session will be an introduction to the craft of songwriting and arranging - with a focus on generating inspirational and
aspirational material for your choir. Whether you wish to write for children or adults, for community choirs or a student
ensemble, the critical issues of our time have never been as relevant as they are now. The students will be given practical
guidance to help them create and text and music that will lift both the rehearsal and the performance.

Repertoire and Rehearsal Techniques

Thursday, 14th January 7:30pm - 8:30pm

This session will centre on establishing the best rehearsal process for the repertoire you have chosen for your choir. There will
be clear guidance on how to memorise the material, how to internalise the sound of the text and how to move effortlessly from
unison into harmony. The aim is to arrive at a strong, rhythmic and communicative performance so as to deliver the message
of the music in an authentic and believable way.

Incorporating Aural
Monday, 11th January 6pm - 7pm

So just how does the instrumental teacher manage to include everything in short (e.g. twenty minute) lessons? Is
preparation for aural tests crammed in just a few weeks before the examination? Some ideas for integrating aural
activities into all lessons.

Page 11
 Teaching small mixed ability groups
Wednesday, 13th January 6pm - 7pm
Ideas for keeping all pupils actively involved throughout the lessons, despite diverging strengths and weaknesses.

Planning for progress

Friday, 15th January 6pm - 7pm
Are you a proactive or reactive teacher? Who dictates the lesson content – you or the pupil(s)? Planning is an
integral part of class teachers’ work, but many instrumental teachers have received little or no help in this area.
Ideas and discussion to improve the quality of your teaching and the pupils’ learning.

Secondary Methodology - Melodic Analysis

Monday, 11th January 10am - 11am

This session is designed to assist students and teachers in the analysis of melody. Melody is an essential component of music and
an understanding of the structure and shape of melody is vital in the overall understanding of musical form.This session builds
skills in melodic analysis and facilitates a broad understanding of melodic form across a range of genres and styles. For teachers,
an informed understanding of melodic structure is vital in terms of repertoire choice and suitability for specific target groups and
allows the music educator to carefully sequence learning to best meet the learning needs of students.

Secondary Methodology - Repertoire Study

Wednesday, 13th January 10am - 11am

Through a study of selected pieces of piano music, this session incorporates music reading, dictation, memory, analysis and
listening activities. Repertoire in this session begins with easier examples taken from Brumby’s Keyboard Fun and leads on to an
investigation of thematic material taken from the film, Cinema Paradiso. This session is of interest to all musicians and teachers but
is particularly suitable for secondary music students and for classroom music educators.

Page 12
Secondary Methodology - Advanced Repertoire Study
Friday, 15th January 10am - 11am

Focusing on Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances this session includes activities which are designed to enhance students skills and
understanding through anaylsis, dictation and listening. With a focus on the concept of modulation, participants will also
participate in improvising and composing tasks. This session will demonstrate the application of an aural pedagogical approach
to more advanced repertoire. This session is of interest to all musicians and teachers but is particularly suitable for secondary
music students and for classroom music educators.

Focus On: Debussy

Monday, 11th January 4pm - 5:30pm
In session 1 we will analyze 3 of the Preludes for Piano by Claude Debussy. From Book 1: ‘Voiles’ (Sails) and ‘Minstrels’ (Minstrels).
From Book 2: Hommage à S. Pickwick Esq. P.P.M.P.C. (Homage to S. Pickwick Esq. P.P.M.P.C.)

Focus On: Schumann

Wednesday, 13th January 4pm - 5:30pm

In session 2 we will analyze Robert Schumann’s ‘Children's Scenes’.

Interpretation is about understanding the score and the intentions of the composer. Only when that knowledge is acquired a
performance can be true and authentic. The way to achieve the goal is through analysis, through understanding what the
composer wants to express and how he or she has put his or her intentions to music. When that picture has become clear,
performers have a real and good chance to interpret a piece, musically and technically, in such a way that it can be understood
by an audience.

Both sessions will focus on the realization of that aim.

Early Years - Too much too soon!

Monday, 11th January 6pm - 7pm

This session will focus on the importance of experiential learning in early years and how children need to build a strong foundation
in basic musical skills prior to being introduced to music notation. These early musical experiences are of course introduced
through play - ‘play is the work of the child” Maria Montessori

Early Years - Developing Active listening skills

Wednesday, 13th January 6pm - 7pm

Two to the most challenging things we ask children to do is “sit still and listen” - they find it difficult to sit still and possibly even
more difficult to listen. Engaging in playful musical activities can help children develop listening skills over time - active listening is
an essential skill in musical training.

Early Years - Picture books and musical learning

Friday, 15th January 6pm - 7pm

“One picture is worth a thousand words”

Children enjoy picture books and gain meaning from them. This session will explore how we can also use picture books to support
the development of early musical experiences.

Level Up!
Monday, 11th January 8:30pm - 9:30pm
Collaboration, communication, risk taking, challenge, mastery, creativity, part thinking are some of the benefits of using games in
the music classroom. Explore a variety of singing games, chants and activities for different age groups and levels in the primary
music classroom to encourage complex thinking, holistic musicianship and more. “Singing connected with movements and action
is a much more ancient, and, at the same time, more complex phenomenon than is a simple song” (Kodaly)

Begin with the End in Mind

Wednesday, 13th January 8:30pm - 9:30pm
Explore planning and assessment structures that encourage mastery and integration of musicianship domains; are student
centred; and that utilize an embodied aural-vocal approach.

Page 15
Connections

The Riddle of the Middle: Unravelling the Mystery of Mixed Voice

Tuesday, 12th January 6pm - 7pm
In this session we will unpick the term ‘mixed voice’, discuss its history and the notion of registers in general and attempt to put
the term into context using evidence-based, functionally valid facts about the voice. We’ll discuss what mix is, how to make it (or
them…) and we’ll practice producing ‘mixed voice’ so we can help our students find it themselves. I shall probably be eating an
eclair during the sessions, I strongly recommend you do the same (science says cake helps your vocal folds - true story.)

Functional Balance: Building Healthy Voice Habits

Thursday, 14th January 6pm - 7pm
In this session we’ll discuss laryngeal and respiratory function and how to improve them, especially when working in group settings.
We’ll talk about evidence-based, easy to use techniques to help you get your students and choirs to a good, balanced vocal
production in the, often, limited time that you have with them. The session will focus mostly on techniques for use with groups in
limited-time warm-up situations (which is often the only time many of us have to address vocal technique) - but there is no reason
the same techniques could not be applied to individual classes too.

Music of New Zealand

Monday, 11th January 4pm - 5:30pm

Tena koutou katoa, (greetings to you all).

I have the privilege of sharing our New Zealand, Maori music with you. Following in the tradition of my father who was a musician

Introduction to Kokas Pedagogy

Tuesday, 12th January 6pm - 7:30pm
In this session we will explore a unique educational method, where music is a great tool for the learning-teaching process - where
we can step closer to ourselves using full attention, self-expression, openness, acceptance, silence and, last but not least, creativity.
This path has been set by Dr. Klára Kokas, who proved that the Kodály concept of music education is not a closed educational
system but it can be complemented by various creative pedagogical approaches. This experience based pedagogy has its roots in
the Kodály philosophy.

 Mark Kruger
Mark Kruger has had two careers to date. Originally from Ipswich Qld, he was a concert pianist
until his late-30s with Bachelor and Masters studies at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, a
Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Melbourne and various periods abroad in
Moscow, London and Germany. Career highlights include being a laureate of the Orleans
International Music Competition in France, a Spanish debut "hailed as a great artist" in the press,
and performances of Chopin's 24 Etudes. A change was needed.

Later in life and Mark retrained in finance, working for Ernst and Young in Melbourne and
becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst. He now works as a financial planner (a perfect blend of
the humanities and severities ), establishing his company MoneyRocket in 2020.
Whilst he wouldn't change a thing, Mark recognises that, financially, he had his "head in the
clouds" during his music years. His mission is to motivate artists to follow their passion whilst
simultaneously having financial awareness so that passion can remain for life. Mark's still performs
occasionally and is looking to do it more and more.
He lives in Ocean Grove with his wife, ex-opera singer, Sally Wilson.

Financial Planning for Musicians

Thursday, 14th January 4pm - 5.30pm
Finance. It's boring and hard, right? And if you are following your passion, money will take care of itself, right? For some maybe, for
most not.
In this session, concert-pianist-turned-financial-planner Mark Kruger will provide a bit of a wake-up call and show you what you can
do (and need to think about) to make the most of your financial situation so you can keep doing what you love.
