‘Musical Interactions and Interventions with the Foetus, Neonate and Premature Infant’ presentation‏

by admin

Dr Sheila Woodward from the University of Southern California is visiting Christchurch and is giving a multimedia presentation on Musical Interactions and Interventions with the Foetus, Neonate and Premature Infant.
This is an amazing opportunity to listen to an expert in the field. There will be time for questions.

CMPA members are all invited to the presentation which is on Thursday 22 July at 3pm at the Champion Centre. A $5 donation to the Champion Centre (on which you can claim tax back) is payable on the door.

Attendance will count towards CMPA Qualified Member 2011 status - of which more later…

About Dr Sheila C. Woodward:

 Dr. Sheila C. Woodward is Chair of Music Education at the University of Southern California, USA. She is a native of South Africa and earned her Ph. D. in Music Education from the University of Cape Town in 1993 and a Performer’s Licentiate in Organ from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (London). She previously taught at the University of South Florida, USA, and the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. Dr. Woodward has served on numerous professional boards in South Africa, in the USA and internationally; among them being two terms on the Board of Directors of ISME (2004 – 2008), three terms on the ISME Early Childhood Music Education Commission (1992 – 1998, two of those as Chair), and two terms on the Executive Board of the Society for General Music (MENC, USA). Dr. Woodward’s research focus is Music and Wellbeing. She explores this from before birth to adulthood, with studies on the fetus and neonate, the premature infant, the young child, the at-risk youth, the juvenile offender and the adult musician. She has published numerous articles, in addition to chapters in Elliott’s Praxial Music Education: Reflections and Dialogues (Oxford, 2005) and in Malloch and Trevarthen’s Communicative musicality: Narratives of expressive gesture and being human (Oxford, 2009).

 Canterbury Musical Parenting Association Inc. Newsletter May 2010

NEXT MONTHLY MEETING

Wednesday 19th May in the Trinity Room at the Christchurch School of Music on Barbados St.

7.30-9pm Ukulele Workshop with Roger Hamilton. He promises that in one session he can teach us 3 chords and at least 5 songs! A great session for anybody interested in being able to accompany themselves singing and very useful for pre/primary school teachers and anybody who interacts with children. It’s also going to be a lot of fun - cost $5 for CMPA members, $10 for non-members, which will include a booklet to take away.

To book a ukulele contact Georgina on grsclarinet@hotmail.com

9-9.15pm Library time -Katharina will help you with your hire needs.

Julie Gaudin’s Corner

Welcome back to Musical Parenting for all those who have paid their subs, and for those that haven’t a gentle reminder that this is your last newsletter you will get before being “turned off” so get your cheque book out and come along to our next meeting. Roger Hamilton will play and sing us through an hour of Ukulele instruction, teach us 3 chords and how to put them with at least 5 songs. I have been to Roger’s workshops before and he always has a little extra something for more advanced players so do come along even if you play a bit. Bring your ukulele or borrow one for the night. If you can’t make it then why not pay your subs from the comfort of your own home using Internet banking.

 The day workshop with Soili was very enjoyable. According to a recent survey the Finnish are the happiest and most content people on the planet, and their teachers are the best trained. I think Soili is responsible for both these statistics. I was particularly inspired by how she builds up a song with complex movements from a simple idea, and always follows the speed of the participants. I am using around 80% of what I learnt that day with all the children I teach, I haven’t quite found a niche for the Sauna song yet. Financially it was also a great investment for musical parenting. So many teachers came that we made a reasonable profit which can be reinvested into other workshops and used to buy resources for the library.

 We are in the process of lining up more guests for our workshops - so if you know anyone you think would be inspiring and marvelous do let me know.

See you soon

Julie
