From concerts and activities for children through to opportunities for adults (of whatever age) to perform side-by-side with members of the MSO, our programs are designed to integrate learning and musical enjoyment, and inspire active participation in music. My profound thanks to our individuals, Trusts, Foundations and Government partners who help us bring these programs to life. Best wishes for a great year of music.

The MSO’s innovative Education and Community Outreach program provides wonderful opportunities for children to be introduced to the joy of music. From active music-making of the Family Jams to the programs focused on specific age groups from Prep to Year 12, the Orchestra’s programs for schools, parents, grandparents, teachers and amateur musicians provide accessible pathways to music for people of all ages. Music is a vital part of a child’s education. It encourages listening and team work, inspires creativity and lets imaginations soar. I encourage you to get involved in this wonderful series of initiatives.

Attending an Open Rehearsal provides a wonderful insight into how professional musicians work together with a conductor to prepare a concert program. Students have the chance to observe a rehearsal, meet MSO musicians – and possibly even the conductor or soloist – and ask questions about their profession. Please note that access to the MSO’s Open Rehearsals is subject to guest artist agreement, date availability and group size. Groups of more than 30 students may be charged a servicing fee.

To be able to take our students to hear a composer speak in-depth about their work, hear it performed by some of the best professional musicians in Australia, and then get to meet the performers at the end of the workshop, is an opportunity too good to miss.”

Discover the distinctive Czech melodies and rhythms of Smetana’s Má vlast. Saturday 28 June at 11am and 12.30pm Improvise on Debussy’s ethereal symphonic poem, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun Saturday 20 September at 11am and 12.30pm Deakin Edge, Federation Square

“What an amazing experience. Within one session the students morphed into dynamo packed performers, supporting and encouraging one another and producing creative music. Reluctant students were soon swept away in these inspirational and creative sessions, empowering them with the self confidence to be able to share what they had learnt with other students back at school. This experience will help provide lifelong memories for many of our students.”

the pizzicato effect The Pizzicato Effect is a partnership between the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Meadows Primary School which creates new learning pathways for children in Broadmeadows through the introduction of instrumental music teaching. The pilot program commenced in 2009 to provide a shared focus for two schools which were merging at the time as a result of a community regeneration project. In 2014, the program will provide access to quality music education for students across the whole school, commencing with Kodály training, and progressing to group instrumental lessons on violin, viola, cello or double bass. Upon entering Grade 5, those displaying a connection to their instrument are invited to continue their tuition in a more individualised environment. Additionally, an after-school string orchestra provides senior students in the program with the opportunity to further their skills as instrumentalists and learn to work, respond and play together in an ensemble environment. The MSO provides all instruments and weekly instrumental and aural lessons lead, by a team of MSO teaching artists. Performance opportunities and the option for children, families and teachers to access MSO concerts are also facilitated. The impact of the program within the school and the Broadmeadows community has been very positive. The children have developed a strong relationship with their MSO mentors and a love of music, and their classroom teachers have reported improved focus, self confidence, grades and behaviour. Formal research into the developmental assets, social-emotional wellbeing and educational impact acquired from participation in The Pizzicato Effect is currently being conducted by the University of Melbourne.

The Pizzicato Effect is generously supported by a number of individual donors and Foundations. On the basis of the impact, momentum and extraordinary motivation now being experienced, further support is currently being sought to ensure the project and its potential for these students and others is realised into the future. To find out how you can contribute to The Pizzicato Effect, please call Jessica Frean at the MSO on (03) 96261107 or email freanj@mso.com.au

The Schapper Family Foundation

“This program is affording our children so many valuable opportunities, and the transformation in the children and their confidence across all areas of learning and social interaction is without doubt. Yet the single most important achievement and benefit of this initiative, from my perspective, is that The Pizzicato Effect is helping our children take pride in who they are.”

Julie Cooke, Principal, Meadows Primary School

“Learning the double bass has taught me how to be more confident. And I feel like that confidence goes with me a little bit everywhere now.”
