I participated in AMEB Section 111 Presentation last Sunday on 14 June. Quite a lot of music teachers gathered in the Kurrajong Theatre for this special event. The presentation covered three areas: aural work, sight reading and general knowledge in the context of AMEB practical examination requirements and preparation. Three AMEB examiners (Valerie Lang, Barry Palmer and Jangoo Chapkhana) led the presentation with well-prepared and useful materials. It gave me a chance to consider other teachers' approaches to these areas. Indeed, sharing teaching tips is a great thing to do as teachers, benefiting one another :) This presentation inspired me in many ways and I hope I can inspire my students to have greater interest in these essential areas of music. |
