Post-Primary Teachers Composition & Creativity Workshop

Thanks to all of the teachers who came along to the workshops in Cork and Dublin. We all enjoyed ourselves and, in particular, had a really stimulating converstation after the Dublin workshop about the Leaving Cert syllabus and music educaiton. Due to the high level of interest, we may hold more of these workshops so if you are interested in attending, send us an email. For workshop materials and audio follow the title link.

The focus of the sessions is on new approaches to the teaching of composition and creativity in music making. Linda explores the use of graphic scores, environmental sound, and rhythmic and melodic exercises.
