How to use the resource

The resource is based on six works from AVÉ’s commissioned repertoire:

  1. Peace I leave with you: Andrew Goodwin/John 14:27

  2. Stars Stephen Leek/ David Malouf

  3. In the Sea’s Giving: Jessica Wells/ David Malouf

  4. Church Cantatas BWV 115 Choral ‘Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn’ . Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)/ Gubbi Gubbi translation by Lyndon Davis, Noongar translation by Gina Williams, Gadigal translation by Joel Davison.

  5. Thought is Surrounded by a Halo Andrew O’Connor/Gwen Harwood

  6. A Little Night Music Kevin Barker/Gwen Harwood

    This resource is designed to be used by a variety of users:

  1. Primary teachers of Stage 3 (Grades 5/6)

  2. Secondary Music, Dance and English teachers of Stage 4 (years 7/8 non elective students) and Stage 5 (years 9/10 elective students)

  3. Local conservatorium teachers who are teaching a variety of ensembles and students

  4. Local community choirs

The activities for each of the four pieces chosen by AVÉ have been arranged from simple introductory activities to more complex ones in sequence.

Each user would choose the activities to suit the group they are teaching/working with.  For e.g.

  1. A Stage 3 primary teacher may only use the first and second activities

  2. A Stage 4 teacher may move quickly through the first two activities and finish with the third activity

  3. A Stage 5 teacher would select some items from the first activities as a preparation for activities three, four and five.

  4. A conservatorium teacher would choose the activities relevant to their students

  5. The community choir conductor would choose the activities related to the performance of the pieces, possibly with AVÉ in a workshop or performance.
