Artefact:  Birds are singing to me! (Video)

An early walking experience near my house. I walk very rarely but today’s walk opened my eyes, it touched all my senses, and it was so memorable for me. Cool fresh breeze patting my body, birds singing to me, I can see birds flying, sunrise and trees dancing.

I wonder do you have an alarm to get up? Where you are going early in the morning, do you know it’s Sunday today? Are you waking up your friends….

I wish I could talk to you and join in your singing!!

I spent some time there listened birds singing, my eyes are closed and it takes me to my childhood days

(My childhood day starts like this)

I walk around this place sometimes but I haven't given much attention or a deep connection with the place. After my class sessions, I realised I have to go out and get into nature. I went for an early morning walk, I felt a cool fresh breeze patting me, birds talking and singing at each other and then singing to me, it took my childhood time I was singing with Koel (Asian) what it does is when we sing bird it sing back and keep on continue and it changes the tonality. When I was walking time, the gravel path makes some sounds, I can see the way native fruits, and trees dance. The birds are busy looking for food. When I am observing the place bit more time, I felt birds around me, they are coming closer, and the trees enjoyed my presence and showing different styles of dances I can connect to Victor Wooten's Video "Music as a Language", we should be free to talk and make music and enjoy. Then I get into deep listening I felt birds singing and trying to tell something to me, I can see trees dancing, and the sun rising it was a visual treat for my eyes that time I reconnected with Dadirri's and Murray Schafer's class. I would like to add Murray Schafer's words from his video " I think if you listen carefully your life is enhanced, in his video he is showing different soundscapes and he is telling us “World is a Hugh composition that’s going on all the time without beginning and ending. We can improve it, or we can destroy it, we can add more noises, or we can add more beautiful sounds. Real sounds is absolutely unique (David, 2009)". I closed my eyes and tried to listen what all are the sounds I can hear, feel all my senses and it was a beautiful experience for me.

What I want to do in my practice for the future is deep listening to children's voices, giving choice to play and step back. Give freedom to talk, provide rich learning experiences for their choice and let them be creative and play in nature.

Experiences I want to do for AT3:

| Music: planning to sing a song with children, including some musical instruments, actions or sounds. Movements: seeds to tree yoga with children Drama: pretended play means to guide them a little bit and provide animals, birds etc and see what they are going to do.

when I’m walking time, I can see and hear a Magpie sitting on a tree, singing, When I close my eyes and started to listen in deep that time, I can hear it starting with a low pitch and slowly going up that time other birds joined with it it's kind of chorus. After a while wind also joined with them and it was a musical treat, " what a wonderful natural creation, harmony and catchy" at that time in my mind, Victor Wooten’s video came up “Music as a language” Language is not taught by anyone, it's right Is anyone taught Magpie to sing? I feel like it is singing to me, I felt a child sitting in front of me, singing and smiling about his achievements. As a teacher, we can keep that smile (Talks, 2014). It shows me, to be free and sing. what I want to do in my practice Give freedom and choice to children what they want to do, Incorporate lots of different music (multi) and musical instruments.

I can see trees rubbing each other and doing a duet according to the breeze in the fast and slow moves, birds singing and encouraging trees to dance more. I think dance and movements are the way to express feelings, Is the tree showing me how happy and energetic they are and how they coordinating with the breeze? When I see that I remembered Dadirri’s inner deep listening and quiet still awareness because sometimes I walk over through there, but I haven’t given much attention to it. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us. We call on it and it calls to us (Ungunmerr, 1988). Once the class finished, I decided to walk and observe the surroundings and listen to what happening outside. I want to connect with Murray Schafer: Listen - how deeply he explained all the sounds in that, so I make sure to captivate all the sounds and movements when walking time.

During my walk, I saw a big tree, compared to other trees it's a bit old, telling me "Look before you I'm here, now you are noticing me. Look at my Braches, I gave shelter to birds and shadow. I asked what happened to his body I can see a hole. He looked at me and started to tell his story about me, I can feel his mood, way of dialogues changing and asked me “Do you know we can dance, did you, our dance? you all are so busy doing everything and do not even care about us. A few years back we had a dance competition, you won't believe I'm the winner. When I was dancing time, I was fascinated by birds and wind music, my branches told me to stop but I couldn't, I fell that time and broke my arm that's why a hole in my body. But I am happy and proud of myself. I was amazed, imagined his story that time, I can see rhythmic movement, first strong and forceful, light and gentle then getting energised. At that moment, I wished if I get a magical power to understand all the languages. When I was imagining time, I felt Bangarra dance- mutton bird (theatre, 2015) when I was watching first that video I can't get it properly, but when I was watching again I realised that it's telling a story. Now I feel the music, movements and drama are interconnected.

After My walk when I'm returning time, I was thinking about how important we should be connected to music, Movements, Drama and Nature same as children. We all are busy with doing work, so I want to make sure to provide children to explore and experiment with nature like feeling all the senses, climbing, and dancing with nature through they develop their skills and learn about how to care our nature without teaching but their own experiences.
