]]> 2016-10-26 01:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/133201107 Shall we start posting ideas here? I have sometime this week so can start researching a few concepts on music advantages/positives to accompany our project. Will keep checking our page daily. I put my hand up for social media promotion and a newsletter/feature to distribute to creche's/kindergartens with kids within our target age.  jayne_waqa https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134084249 2016-10-30 14:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134084249 Ok, I am still trying to get my head around this assignment. leighmarty https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134161348 I am happy to work on something therapy/educational - such as a pamphlet

- Venue - a community park
- Activities - scavenger hunt, instruments to play, 15min trial music session, music/instruments from different cultural groups, make an instrument (from everyday materials)
- Promotion - social media, posters, article in newspaper
- Sponsors - proposal for funding for supplies, materials and food (e.g. local businesses, Council etc)
- Approval - letter to the Council for approval to hold event in the park

I think we need to pick a town to hold the event - any ideas?]]> 2016-10-31 16:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134286473 Town Choice jayne_waqa https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134364328 Hi Girls, 

In response to Renee's question regarding our town choice. I suggest Alice Springs?. Its a town in the heart of Australia and has been my hometown for the past 5 years. If you require any information there is alot on the internet or just ask me and I'll see if I can help. ]]> 2016-10-31 22:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134364328 Town Choice jayne_waqa https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134364620 In response to Renee's question regarding town choice, I suggest Alice Springs? Its  in the heart of Australia and alot of information is available on the internet. It has been my home town for 5 years and if you need extra information I am able to assist.  

There is a library in the town centre we can use as one of the music stations. 

Second music station is "The Residency" which was the governors residence in 1920's. 

Third  music station could be on Todd Mall which is the main strip in town and there is a spot in the middle that is used for Sunday markets and entertainment. 

Fourth music station could be on the edge of the Todd River this could be used as a station where indigenous instruments as the Didgeridoo be used and a local indigenous representative teach and give us knowledge on the first nations people. 

The final station could be the council lawns which could be the venue for a grand finale. 


These stations are all within walking distance and not very far for small legs and the age group we are aiming for. 

The town has a good representative of other cultural groups. 

There is an American population with the US base stationed here. 

There is a vibrant African group with drums etc. 

There is an Indian cultural group in existence that we could use with the sitar. 

The Indigenous group could be used in the first station. 

We could use a Australian style country band for the final station. 

Once we get to the end all the groups could combine the instruments and play 
"Waltzing Matilda" tune. 

What are your thoughts?

You've clearly put a lot of thought into this. Leigh I love the idea of music as therapeutic and educational. On the subject of education I was thinking it would be good to have a list of music teachers that could be added to Leigh's therapy/education pamphlet. If our "cause" is to encourage children's engagement with music and show the benefits of such engagement, hopefully the outcome would be that children and parents would want to explore options of doing this more regularly so lets provide them with the option of various instruments to learn. I'm happy to do the research for this.]]> 2016-11-01 23:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134647520 Our Cause ren_turner214 https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134648555 Just checking, is our cause to encourage children's engagement with instruments/music or to promote music from other cultures, or is the first option and we're using music from other cultures to promote this? Thoughts, clarification please.]]> 2016-11-01 23:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134648555 What i can do ren_turner214 https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134648914 Re: my discipline, I had an idea this morning that I could research and contact musicians that grew up or live in Alice Springs and collate their thoughts on how music has affected their lives. I would ask that they write it for a Junior Primary audience. Maybe these quotes could be added to signage, handouts or advertisements]]> 2016-11-01 23:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134648914 Reply rowena_dinsmore https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134669591 Nice idea Renee, sounds good :)]]> 2016-11-02 03:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134669591 Great Renee leighmarty https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134670549 2016-11-02 03:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134670549 Great idea Renee to have contact details for parents who wish to contact music teachers leighmarty https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134670573 2016-11-02 03:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/134670573 rowena_dinsmore https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/135263623 Hi Renee, 
Leigh has posted the following summary on the CAP board :

This is our groups idea for the CAP:

Target group: children under 5 years (still deciding on the town)

The arts: music morning tea (we can do a musical scavenger hunt, a dance, singing, showing parents how to make instruments and let children make something (e.g. rice in milk container), have real instruments for children to try (e.g. students from local music school?)

Cause: introducing children and their parents to the benefits of music

I have done a little research and discovered that there is a music school in AS. (Oh dear sorry my post got interrupted yesterday by life outside of study - family drama) The Northern Territory Music School has a campus in AS, they offer instrumental and vocal programs throughout the year. There are numerous instrumental teachers ranging from piano to cello. Do I need to provide this list for Leigh or is it all just hypothetical? This is the part that has me confused.]]> 2016-11-04 02:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/135277737 Confusing rowena_dinsmore https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/135983166 Yes, I agree Renee, it's a little confusing, for me I'm doing the research and posting what I have up here publicly. It seems that we're discussed more on the communication than any results. ]]> 2016-11-08 02:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/135983166 ren_turner214 https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/136036475 There's a couple of questions in the study notes for this week that I thought might get discussions rolling. Clearly we all understand the benefits music can have on children (Leigh explained this really well in her ppt), what would the value & impact of our project be to/on the community? I imagine it would bring together people of different cultures and backgrounds to learn and enjoy our differences. I'm thinking that in the answers to this question we might find our "rationale."

I also found some good colour palettes on this websites. In particular I was looking for bright palettes with different colours, as I think those would work well as a visual cue to indicate that this is an event directed at Primary school age children.  In particular I thought the palettes 10, 31,33, 84, 95, and 98 could work really well.]]> 2016-11-12 08:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/137118691 Handouts rowena_dinsmore https://padlet.com/rowena_dinsmore/pnm4lrmej0qs/wish/137118777 I think this is an example of some information that could be made into handout form: https://themusicschool.wikispaces.com/Grade+2+-+other+content+-+Instruments+of+the+Orchestra+-+the+parts+of+the+instruments

The challenge would be designing a handout which is visually good for the targeted age level. Here's an example of something that might work: http://thebirdfeednyc.com/2013/04/08/music-activity-sheets-parts-of-the-violin-and-bow/

It has links to exhibitors, which for us would be the musicians.
http://tascraftfair.com.au/

I did however find the design a bit adult and boring, so looked for some examples of playful website layouts:

http://www.image-festival.com/

I noticed the above website had links to volunteer and job positions, this is something that would be also good to consider, staffing for the event!

http://www.kidscampcalifornia.com/
This is work I would probably not be trying to emulate - blocks of text, lack of cohesion.
http://www.riverwayranchcamp.com/

This website looks like a lot more fun! I think with website design for this particular event, it would be useful to have lots of images
