Reports have been written, so it’s okay to choose your favourite song, resource, activity and use it with every year level if it saves you planning/set-up time, and brings smiles and laughter to your room.

Create a realistic, achievable "to-do" list.

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t create an unrealistic to do list before the end of year. Prioritise what you really need to get done before the end of year vs what can wait until the new school year. Set clear boundaries for yourself for the holidays & don’t allow yourself to be constantly switching back to work or PD mode.

Remember to have a crew of helpers in place for setting up, packing up and returning equipment for performances. Don’t be left packing up the PA after everyone’s gone!

12. Singing, brass and woodwind classes

Singing and playing wind and brass instruments can occur.
To reduce transmission risk, schools could undertake the following precautions:

moving outdoors

increasing ventilation

physical distancing amongst performers and between performers and the audience

reducing the number of people

reducing the length of time an activity is conducted.

Music teachers, including those who work across multiple sites, can run onsite lessons.

Set up a PA with a few microphones. Have a computer with youtube available projected onto the whiteboard or a wall. Hang up some fairy lights, turn the lights off, hand out some glow in the dark bands (20 from coles for about $2) and have a ‘Karaoke night’ in your classroom.

You could do the same set up but run the class as an ‘open mic’. Ask one of the more confident students to host the open mic and invite students to sign up to perform a song. Once the first student kicks it off, you won’t be able to stop them signing up!

"Round Midnight" - Bobby McFerrin/Herbie Hancock.
**Don't mention the name of the track or the performers**
1. Imagine this is background music to a scene in a movie
2. Listen to track (up until 2:30) with guiding questions:
- what time of day is it? where do you think it is? who is in the scene? what are they doing? what has just happened? what is about to happen? (responses can be jotted down, remembered and then discussed, added to a shared doc, etc as appropriate)
3. Have students write a description of the scene as the music is being played again (length and details appropriate to the age group). Invite authors to read share.

1. Look at the image and discuss - what do you see? what is happening? what has just happened? who are they? where are they?
2. Our challenge is to compose some gentle music to help them sleep. What sort of music sounds should we use? what sort of instruments/found sounds/body/vocal sounds?
3. This could be a whole class or small group task. Spend some time experimenting with the sounds available.
4. Compose a short piece of music to play to the polar bears to help them sleep. Rehearse, modify, rehearse, perform.
5. If involving small groups, have them perform immediately after one another and record in one take. Then play back whilst everyone looks at the image.
