Nothing quite sums up the spirit of the ASO's Learning Program as much as our annual concerts for schools with Paul Rissmann. With a belief that participation in music is at the heart of learning, this immersive week of activity incorporates professional development for teachers and concerts with a focus on inclusivity and participation for students of all ages and abilities.
In this year's Festival of Learning Paul presents his new concert Earth, Wind and Fire for upper secondary students exploring the making of selected masterworks. Continuing a tradition of setting storybooks to music and incorporating song and movement, for the younger audiences we offer Giddy Goat – a tale of bravery, growth and self-belief from author Jamie Rix and illustrated by Lynne Chapman. And, for middle-upper primary Paul presents Dreams of Air and Flight based on a beautiful story by Grahame Baker-Smith which is sure to set imaginations soaring.
Teacher PD sessions will be held at the ASO Grainger Studio for Giddy Goat and Dreams of Air & Flight. Students will then be able to learn the songs before attending the concert, giving them the opportunity to actively participate in the performance.
