Presenters
Dr. Millie Locke will demonstrate approaches fully applicable in the modern classroom to enhance music and literacy with young children. Using a thematic approach she will use story to fully engage every child, and encourage them to use their unique voice in artistic and holistic learning experiences. Millie explored teaching as artistry in her Masters thesis and will inspire musicians and teachers alike in their craft.
Maria Kapa brings an understanding of Kodaly, Orff and Te Ao Maori (Maori world view) to the creation of bicultural music experiences. Maria is excited to explore with participants the natural beauty of Maori music presented with a Kodaly/Orff emphasis. Maria has taught music in a number of learning contexts, including early childhood, primary, high-school and polytechnic.
Maria is currently an itinerant music teacher at Bethlehem College in Tauranga.
Jeremy Hantler is a percussion specialist and will share ways to make marimbas and xylophones come alive in your teaching. It is time to pull the barred instruments out of storage in your school and see the world of joy these can unlock in your students. The material will all be from the 2018 Bay of Plenty Marimba Festival to which your school may sign up if they wish.
