Rationale)#

The unit, Australian Music is designed for a late grade ten class. The unit was chosen due to the importance of children

learning about historical and cultural contexts of their heritage in a more in depth situation. This is important due to the

thinking of Zoltan Kodaly who stated that only ‘quality music’ in addition to ‘music of their home country’ was acceptable

for the child’s learning (Choksy, 1990, p. 9).

During the unit, the students primary focus will be music making. In addition to music making the knowledge base of the

musical elements is being forever built upon. It goes without saying that for these to be the primary focus, audiation and

ear training needs to be at the heart of what is done in the classroom. (Klinger, 1990, p. 11) At the completion of this unit,

the students will be prepared musically for the senior phase of schooling in both musical and cultural contexts. It

important to keep in mind that the main focus of Kodaly’s methodology, which the school uniformly utilises, is to empower

the whole child, therefore assessment in this course is an indicative summary of their progression and work in the

classroom.

This unit is extremely student centered with a strong focus on the ‘third cultural space’ (EATSIPS, 2011, p. 8). The variety

of assessment items takes into account that students might be stronger in one area than another and all the work in the

classroom sets them up for success in those areas that might be weaker. Learning experiences within the unit are

sequenced so that students subconsciously develop an understanding then discover the musical elements that then on

are continuously reinforced (Klinger, 1990, p. 15). This method, the Kodaly Method is very successful with all learners as

it provides visual, auditory, kinesthetic and read-write learners (Klinger, 1990, p. 8).

The Australian Music unit is linked heavily to the Music curriculum and focuses on developing students in the four key

areas; Composition (the ability to create original music), Performance (the ability to perform music convincingly), Analysis

(the ability to write about music) and Aural Skills (the ability to aurally distinguish sounds). Cross-curricular links to English

and History also co-exist within the unit.

Whole-school Ethos:

The school is located in an inner city suburb with a mid range socio-economic status. Brolga State College contains

approximately 863 students, ranging from grades 8 to 12. The school contains both male and female students and

approximately 4% of these students are from an indigenous background.

Brolga SHS is situated on a large block with ample space for the up and coming inclusion of grade seven. The school

thrives in musical ambitions due to a recent push in the music department from an over turn of the Head of Faculty.

Generally students at Brolga State College tend to be involved in many extra circular activities varying from sports to

music to academic endeavors. Brolga State College has a very active parent involvement and overwhelming support from

the school’s Music Support Group.

The administration at Brolga SC places important emphasis to its teachers on the importance of providing aids of the

student bodies’ wellbeing and in general the whole student. Even though Brolga State College places a high emphasis on

the academic achievement, student’s preform outstandingly in both the sporting and the music arenas. In placing

Classroom(Music( ( ( ( ((((UNIT:(Australian(Music(

22# Amanda#Holley#2012#(Indigenous#Perspectives#–#Griffith#University)#

emphasis on the whole student, Brolga encourages its teachers to integrate Indigenous perspectives into everyday

lessons. It is believed that this emphasis will encourage students to think positively about indigenous perspectives and

allow every student to connect with this wealth of culture. The school promotes the four underlying principles of integrity,

respect, responsibility and honour. These philosophies are amalgamated into every classroom as well as fostered

throughout the school.

Classroom Ethos:

The grade ten class contains 28 students, both male and female including 2 students with an indigenous heritage as well

as various with additional needs. The class has an interactive whiteboard. In addition to this each student has a laptop

that is provided from the school to the students via a government grant. Every laptop is linked to school Wi-Fi Internet and

has the necessary software for each student enrolment needs. As a result every music student has a copy of the music

notation software Sibelius. With the use of technology, Brolga SC sees it helpful as the ‘use of digital learning materials

supports both engagement and learning among Indigenous students’ (ACARA, 2012). This is important due to the higher

percentage of Indigenous students at Brolga SC.

In every lesson it is well known by the students to ‘just give it a go’. The importance of performance practice has been

instilled in the group, since music in grade eight and it is understood that we will discover the music together as a class.

As Klinger states in her book, A Guide to Lesson Planning in a Kodaly Setting, ‘Each lesson should be a fun, joyous,

MUSICAL experience!’ (Klinger, 1990, p. 9).

The Australian Music unit includes learning from both perspectives on the Indigenous spectrum as well as those of

English heritage. In the classroom, regular discussions on appropriate terminology as well as the origin of the music will

enable the students original thinking to be challenged as well as being exposed to Australia’s rich cultural history.

Personal Ethos:

As a music teacher, my subject in the school environment is often seen as a bludgeon or a subject where the kids don’t

learn anything. I advocate that the opposite is actually quite true; it’s just that students enjoy music! With this in mind I

consider and understand that not every student in my classroom is going to be a concert pianist. More realistically I know

that all my students will continue to listen to music. My goal as their music teacher is to assist them in becoming a better

citizen and a more holistic person of whom appreciates music.

I believe that every student wants to learn. If a student appears to not want to learn then we as their teacher are going

about it the wrong way. I endeavor to create a classroom where no child is too worried to take risks. I believe that this risk

taking in my classroom will set up my student’s thinking in other subjects and will become a valuable life skill.
