Have you booked in for our virtual session – Curiosity, Connection and Meaning-Making in your Arts Program with the 2021 Telstra Aria Music Teacher of the Year Zoë Barry?

Zoë is Director of Harmony in Strings, an acclaimed strings program nestled within Sacred Heart Primary, Fitzroy.

In this workshop Zoë will share how the program’s pedagogy has developed over its 12 years, how an inclusive, trauma informed approach offers the possibility of transformational moments, and how the guiding values of the program translate into lesson plans. We will explore curiosity and connection at the heart of meaningful art making with students. The workshop will include collaborative exercises, discussion and time to reflect on your own program.
