Music Igniter Day 4- What and Why?
|
This was a day of reflection; looking back at all the activities we had done. We started with a warmer that used pulse and rhyme to get participants focused- which was fun. Afterwards we had to use the structure and form of a rhyme and make up original lyrics. One group were given the task of making movements for the song-which had hilarious results. We discussed issues of material, leadership and structure and had a fun speed dating session- teachers and community musicians and updated ourselves with the music education sector. |
