SESSION 2 - 1:30pm - 4:30pm

Join us for the afternoon with one of the UK’s most-respected music educationalists, Paul Harris (Faber Music), and AMEB.

SIMULTANEOUS LEARNING

Paul Harris’ concept of Simultaneous Learning is now a recognised and highly regarded form of teaching worldwide. This exciting, imaginative and holistic approach encourages students to learn positively, effectively and independently. It turns the old-fashioned ‘reactive’ style of teaching (pupils play, make mistakes and teacher corrects) on its head. This inherently practical way of teaching allows you, as teacher, to get the best out of your pupils and include all the core skills within a standard lesson time. In this presentation you will discover techniques that enable pupils to develop much more fully as musicians.

"IF ONLY MY PUPILS WOULD PRACTISE MORE!"

Practice makes perfect…or does it? This fascinating workshop improves the quality and effectiveness of practice by helping teachers motivate their pupils to get the best out of the time between lessons. Paul Harris offers a wealth of ideas and strategies that will bring a greater understanding to all of how best to use those precious hours. He also challenges and dispels a number of presently held opinions on what makes for effective practice. An ideal presentation for teachers with students who are not fulfilling their potential, or who have talented pupils with low motivation. This workshop can also be delivered directly to the pupils themselves.

Plus all the latest from AMEB Ltd. and AMEB SA & NT.
