WELCOME
WELCOME We’re delighted to welcome you to the second Melbourne Music Summit! As champions of music education, we’ve created this event to support our community of music lovers and educators, whether you are looking for innovative classroom strategies, educational up-skilling or music appreciation. The Melbourne Music Summit celebrates those advocating for music within Australia’s culture and classrooms and we are proud to present keynotes from MSO’s Creative Chair for Learning & Engagement, Dr Anita Collins, and one of Australia’s most experienced conductors and music educators, Graham Abbot. You’ll find these discussions inspiring and empowering, complemented by performances by members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. This is in addition to our carefully curated practical sessions, covering diverse topics such as access and inclusivity, forming creatively stimulating classrooms and developing strong Indigenous engagement in schools. We are very proud to present this weeklong online conference to support our education community’s work, providing both inspiration and professional development, as we work collaboratively to keep the music going in both classroom and concert hall.

MSO Melbourne Music Summit 2021 – 2
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION DAY ONE: MONDAY 26 JULY 2021 5.30pm Keynote: The Ups and Downs of Music Advocacy | Dr Anita Collins There is wide ranging support for music education as well as extensive research into its benefits. Yet we are still placed into positions where we must once again remind others of why music learning is good and valuable, both for its own sake as an art form and for the development of every child. Why do we need to keep repeating ourselves, why doesn’t everyone get it and what works when it comes to advocacy? These are just some of the topics that Dr Anita Collins will explore and debate in this keynote address.
DAY TWO: TUESDAY 27 JULY 2021 5.00pm Harnessing the Power of Digital Portfolios in Music Education | Katie Wardrobe Digital portfolios are an effective way to capture student learning and there are an excellent range of tech tools available (including free options!) which makes the process easy. In this session, we’ll explore the what, why and how of digital portfolios and how they can transform your student presentations and assessment tasks. We’ll discuss the two main components of a digital portfolio and explore ways to create artefacts through the use of video, images, audio recordings and text using tech tools you already have. A variety of cross-platform publishing tools will be shared, allowing students to share their work in a cohesive and engaging way. MSO for Classrooms: Making a Curriculum Work for You and Your Students | Helen Champion Teachers know their students and they know how to teach them. So, is a curriculum necessary? This presentation looks at curriculum as a planning tool that can be used in many different contexts and for many different purposes, including classroom and instrumental teaching. Using Australian Curriculum: The Arts – Music as a model, participants will explore the flexibility that a curriculum can offer for planning learning that delivers on the essentials and differentiates learning to meet students’ diverse needs. Participants will be encouraged to think about how their teaching practice uses key ideas from the curriculum and how they balance and integrate the different components of music learning.
6.00pm Using Indigenous Content in the Classroom: Conversation with Jess Hitchcock | Jess Hitchcock and Sylvia Hosking Incorporating Indigenous content into student learning is a priority for the classroom at all levels. In this session, Jess Hitchcock will perform and teach attendees Deborah Cheetham’s Long Time Living Here, the MSO’s commissioned musical Acknowledgment of Country, now being performed at the beginning of every MSO concert. Attendees will learn how to respectfully and meaningfully engage with Indigenous content and what is considered important essential knowledge. Resources will further be provided to support the musical exploration of our First Peoples culture. Together, host Sylvia Hosking and Jess will have a conversation around the big issues around language and other topics. There will also be a Q&A for attendees to pose their burning questions. MSO for Classrooms: Rhythms and Rhymes | Brianna Kavanagh Learn how to plan and deliver a scaffolded lesson sequence or brain breaks that require no instruments, little to no prior musical experience, and that promotes inclusive student engagement and participation. This session is suitable for specialists and non-specialist teachers and uses the body, words, and rhymes to explore and develop various musical elements including rhythm, tempo, and dynamics.
MSO Melbourne Music Summit 2021 – 3
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION DAY THREE: WEDNESDAY 28 JULY 5.00pm Making Space for Music: The Art of Cultivating Safe and Creative Space | Dr Gillian Howell As a young music educator, one of the most inspiring and thought-provoking pieces of advice Gillian received was to ‘pay attention to the space’. Specifically, the social dynamics and the degree of autonomy and agency being experienced by learners. In work contexts such as war-affected cities, refugee camps, and schools with high numbers of displaced people – paying attention to the space was what ensured music was a place of solace and welcome for the young learners. In this presentation, Gillian will share a trauma-aware approach to creating and cultivating space in music making and music education, and how to ensure the musical spaces we foster as teachers and teaching artists are safe, welcoming and inspiring, as well as great learning spaces. Gillian will share stories from young people in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Sri Lanka, TimorLeste, and Australia to illustrate the difference that paying attention to the space—and getting the space right— can make.
DAY FOUR: THURSDAY 29 JULY 5.00pm Decoding Sound: An Immersive Way to Teach Interpretation & Analysis | Deborah Smith Music Analysis, or as it is referred to in VCE Music studies, Music Interpretation Analysis, helps musicians learn how to listen. When they occupy the role of audience in a purposeful and considered way, they listen intuitively and begin to identify the strategies used by performers to achieve expressive outcomes. In this session, you will be introduced to an adaptable and immersive teaching approach that will engage your VCE class. Join Deb and guest performer Stephanie Stamopoulos as they demonstrate how our students can be actively engaged in understanding the manipulation of the expressive elements of music and how this knowledge enhances their own performance skills and equips them with the tools to create more engaging interpretations. MSO for Classrooms: Classics for Kids | Dr Emily Wilson This session focusses on getting the most out of a single piece of music through performing, composing and listening across Years F–12. Connections with the Victorian Curriculum, the Quality Music Education Framework, literacy strategies and Indigenous perspectives are discussed and there is a special focus on showing the use of some of these activities with a Grade 3 class.
6.00pm Inclusive Instrumental and Ensemble Programs | Karen Kyriakou The benefits of learning and playing music extend to all students — regardless of ability. Music can be made accessible for each member of our class and ensemble. This session focuses on how to make your ensemble and instrumental program inclusive for all students, with an emphasis on secondary programs. • Ideas for increased engagement and learning • Accommodations to make for students who require additional support • Planning your curriculum for all students MSO for Classrooms: Engaging the Middle Years | Dr Emily Wilson This session examines engaging ways to involve middle years students in composing, listening and performing though creating their own music online using cloud-based digital tools.
DAY FIVE: FRIDAY 30 JULY 5.30pm Keynote: Why Music? The Power of Beauty | Graham Abbott Everyone with genuine involvement in music - whether as teacher, performer or music lover - knows the power of music to transport and excite. In this talk, Graham Abbott meditates on the power of music’s beauty, and the importance of beauty more generally, in both our young people’s lives and our own. The need for beauty in the world is greater than ever before – sharing beauty in the form of music is not only a joy, but also a powerful means of human transformation.
