MARIMBA MUSIC CAMP

(It’s for all instruments, actually.)

Need a winter boost for your teaching?

Looking for classroom instrumental ideas?

Enjoy making music with great players?

Appreciate talking with other teachers?

The second weekend of Term 2 VOSA will hold its 18^th Marimba Camp ( 29^th – 31^st July) at Candlebark Farm near Healesville. It’s great for families, but teachers also find it a great boost and a chance to glean ideas for the music classroom while enjoying making music with others and talking things over with our workshop leaders and fellow teachers.

Come for an afternoon, come for a day, or come for the whole weekend.

Sessions for Teachers:

As always, there are workshops specifically designed to boost your teaching skills. Apart from the Saturday afternoon, where everyone learns pieces with our camp presenters, there is a special Sunday morning workshop with Jon Madin offering marimba pieces and the chance to take home your own instrument – one of Jon’s 3-tone aggy-pipe ‘J-Boppers’ which you will make during the session.

Will your school send you?

Many teachers find schools are happy to fund the Marimba Camp as a Professional Learning experience for teachers – especially when they find this is over a weekend and classes will not need to be covered.

Three experienced and inspiring regular camp leaders will all be leading activities:  Jon Madin, Andy Rigby and Phil Melgaard. Liz Bennett will also offer a String Ensemble for mixed ages/levels this year.
