At St Andrew’s College we have developed a great culture of having students push themselves in composition because they love the creative process, not just to ‘bank’ credits. Music technology is an integral part of helping students become self-motivated. Using MIDI technology, recording interfaces and their mixing skills students are able to produce high quality tracks like the ones my students produced here on Spotify.

​

The new developments in NCEA provide teachers and students with challenges and opportunities. Through this day we will explore ways of integrating individual and collaborative composition with music technology to create a programme for the new NCEA standard(s) that your students will find motivating and engaging.

 

Overview of the workshop:

• creating a portfolio of composition for the new NCEA 1.4 - Create original music.

• structuring composition for the new NCEA level 1

• introducing junior students to the compositional process using notation and music tech tasks

• using ‘basic’ recording/composition software such as Soundtrap, Bandlab & GarageBand with junior classes

• options for free recording/composition software at senior levels (Ableton Live Intro, Reaper, Waveform Free)

• designing group collaborative tasks

• creating a positive culture of creativity
