Abstract:
Honouring Awe and Wonder: Facilitating the Space of Song
 
In the case of singing, and the introduction of song, particularly in school spaces that are filled with noise, confusion and disturbance, the words we use or don’t use to begin a song, the silence we leave after a song, the stillness of presentation (listening and contemplating), constitute, and thus initiate, the possibility of awe and wonder. Certainly, children might very well leave primary programs matching pitches, and reading and writing music at varying levels. Yet, that which we hold most dear, children and song, are too often deprived of the new beginnings a pedagogy that honours the wondrous could bring.
 
In this workshop participants will engage in a primary music lesson that demonstrate deliberate pedagogical encounters that facilitate both the aesthetic and critical encounter within a Kodály framework.
