Music education PD - final UMP course Nov 30 for 2017
Michael Griffin
Hi All
The final 2017 'Unlocking Musical Potential' full-day Music Education NESA Registered Professional Development course run by TTA, York St Sydney, is Thursday Nov 30.
Suitable for instrumental and vocal, primary and secondary, classroom and itinerant music teachers. Registration, details and cost: http://tta.edu.au/products/1654/3725.
Why do some musicians achieve so much more than others? Motivation is the fuel of human choice and action. Self-directed learning is an over-arching aim of education. Mindset is the critical factor that determines learning effort and perseverance. It is without doubt a significant factor for musical success. These fundamental principles underpin the drive, the how, and the why of learning music. This is essential understanding for music teachers, and broadly applicable for life-long learning.
This music education PD is unique. There is nothing like this offered anywhere else. Join us, and find out for yourself!
Can’t attend the PD? It’s in the book ‘Learning Strategies for Musical Success’ – Second Edition’. $35 + $5 PH, mdgri...@gmail.com to order.

Had a great day learning about how students are motivated by progress. We were taught all about how to determine progress and how to instil a growth mindset in our students. I then took what we learnt back to the classroom and my seniors are more motivated in their music practice. - Jonathan Goodwin
Michael is so profoundly knowledgeable on this topic and it was incredible and engaging listening to him today. - Miriam Binskin
Shows lots of research and reference to current research. Relevant to teaching (not just music classroom). Very interesting topics.
Very informative. It has made me reassess not only how I teach but my own parenting style.
Michael was the real deal! He gave so much evidence and research based information to support his presentation and delivered it in a thought provoking and engaging manner. Great discussions. I highly recommend this course. - Alex Manton
