Some recommendations for AIS programs
• Themes - a theme can often help focus the event and can be developed through discussions, creative writing and particularly art work to decorate the concert space.
• Concerts - we always invite the students to do one to two massed items
Susie and Phil can perform some of their songs involving the audience in song and dance. Phil can also MC the performance if required
• Longer stints such as one day per week over a term
These programs can culminate in the annual concert or musical for the school which combines all the areas of the arts. Costumes can be made, props and sets can be designed and all students are involved in music, dance and drama.
This program can fulfil the arts component of the school curriculum.
• Prior preparation to a concert or longer stint
This is recommended – such as students learning the words to some of the songs and preparing instrumental accompaniments, simple costumes and sets for the concert. Liaision takes place between the co-ordinating teacher and the artists – a varied program of songs, dances and instrumental activities is planned prior to our visit. This program together with the music and recordings are accessed via dropbox prior to the event.
