Éducation

Fréquence : 1 épisode/25j. Total Éps: 30

My name is Susie Davies-Splitter and I have been teaching music to all ages in Early Childhood, schools and Universities over many years. With my husband, Phil, we run ‘Welcome to Music’ where we create music resources, have a membership community and present training and programs for kids and educators. Our goal is to help build confidence and creativity and enrich lives through the joy of music. Follow my journey as I have begun a new music teaching position this year in a local primary school just around the corner from our house in Melbourne, Australia for 5-11 year olds. I hope that this podcast can support and inspire you and maybe even make your job a little easier through sharing tips, chats, lesson plans, interviews and great quality music resources to use with your children. I use an inclusive, multi-modal, multi-sensory and Orff-based approach to help make the learning stick. Please enjoy the Welcome to Music teacher podcast and find us at welcometomusic.net

Ep. 24 - Call and Response Songs, Part 2

Épisode 24

mercredi 21 mai 2025 • Durée 30:57

Join Susie for Episode 24 as she shares ‘Call and Response Songs – Part 2’ with four more fabulous pieces for a range of ages up to 12 years:

‘Rise Sally Rise’ - a traditional African-American playground song
‘Jaws’ – story song with actions inspired by Baby Shark
‘Old McDonald had a Band’ – traditional song that encourages instrumental exploration
‘Sing to the Heavens Above’ - uplifting gospel-style song by Susie & Phil

A call and response song is where a leader sings the call, and the group answer with a response which is usually the same or may have 2 slightly different responses. The call is usually different and often improvised.This follows the ‘Suite of Songs’ journey which includes echo and cumulative songs, call and response songs and will be continued with partner songs and rounds.

Songs that use these various techniques provide an inclusive setting allowing kids to have instant success, sing immediately (echo and call and response songs), easily dive into instant harmony with rounds and partner songs making singing in the classroom, in the choir and anywhere a great joy.

Ep. 23 - Call and Response Songs, Part 1

Épisode 23

mardi 6 mai 2025 • Durée 41:07

A huge welcome to Episode 23 of the Welcome to Music podcast – Call and Response Songs for the Primary/Elementary School. In this Episode 23 and the next 2 Episodes 24 & 25 (Parts 1-3), I will be continuing the ‘Suite of Songs’ journey. Episode 18 is ‘Echo Songs’ and Episodes 19 and 20 ‘Cumulative Songs’. Then the journey will continue with partner songs and rounds. Songs that use these various techniques provide an inclusive setting allowing kids to sing immediately (echo and call and response songs) and easily dive into instant harmony with rounds and partner songs.

Cumulative songs also bring lots of fun into the classroom with songs building and becoming longer and more complex where memory, concentration and language skills are developed.

A call and response song is where a leader sings the call, and the group answer with a response which is usually the same or may have 2 slightly different responses. The call is usually different and often improvised. All of these various song techniques that bring immediate engagement and success combine to make singing in the classroom, in the choir and anywhere a great joy.

Ep. 21 - Indigenous Music Perspectives, Part 1

Épisode 21

mardi 8 avril 2025 • Durée 36:02

A huge welcome to Episode 21 of the Welcome to Music podcast – Indigenous Music Perspectives – Part 1. In this Episode 21 and the next Episode 22 (Parts 1 & 2), I interview Alice Csabi who is a performing arts teacher and has had several years’ experience working with Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander students in the Northern Territory.

We have a discussion around how to use indigenous materials sensitively and appropriately in schools. The focus of this session is to improve your confidence and ability to incorporate Indigenous Perspectives into your Music/Performing Arts and general classrooms. It provides you with tools and support for how you can transfer these ideas to that of your own Country.

These 2 episodes are a follow up from a webinar entitled ‘Indigenous Music from Australia’ where Alice and I shared 3 indigenous songs (My Island Home, Yil Lull and Wish you Well) which included singing, body percussion, movement, Orff percussion instruments, improvisation, ukuleles, Boomwhacker and recorders.

The webinar can be viewed inside our Welcome to Music Membership Community together with the videos of this 2-part interview and all accompanying teacher notes, music notation, harmonies, percussion, recorder, ukulele and keyboard arrangements for each song plus all of the notes and music for a 4th indigenous song ‘Ngarra, Burra, Ferra’. You will be able to view a 2 hour video and access a PD certificate that addresses the AITSL - Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. To join our Welcome to Music Membership - click here!

In these 2 podcast episodes, you will hear a short recap of ‘My Island Home’ and ‘Yil Lull’ plus ‘Ngarra, Burra, Ferra’ – which is a gospel, African-American spiritual song adapted by the Yorta Yorta indigenous people of south eastern Victoria, Australia

Ep. 20 - Fun Cumulative Songs for the Primary/Elementary School, Part 2

Épisode 20

vendredi 21 février 2025 • Durée 27:00

A huge welcome to Episode 20 of the Welcome to Music podcast – a continuation of Fun Cumulative Songs for the Primary/Elementary School

My plan over the next few podcasts is to put together ‘A Suite of Songs’ – I started mid 24 with echo songs and today cumulative songs. This will then extend to partner songs, call and response songs and rounds just to name a few. Songs that use these various techniques provide an inclusive setting allowing kids to sing immediately (echo and call and response) and easily dive into instant harmony with rounds and partner songs.

A cumulative song is a type of song where each verse builds on the previous one by adding new elements, often in a repetitive and sequential manner. As the song progresses, the verses become longer and more complex, with earlier parts repeated in each new verse.

Incorporating cumulative songs into educational settings provides a multifaceted approach to learning, making it both enjoyable and effective for children. Cumulative songs are great for engaging children in interactive singing, helping them develop language skills, memory, and musical abilities while having fun.

Ep. 19 - Fun Cumulative Songs for the Primary/Elementary School, Part 1

Épisode 19

lundi 3 février 2025 • Durée 29:01

A huge welcome to Episode 19 of the Welcome to Music podcast – Fun Cumulative Songs for the Primary/Elementary School

I am so happy to be back with you and the Welcome to Music podcast series after a few months hiatus. 2024 was a huge year for our family – my first grandson Leo was born in March and then Riley in December. So I became a 2-timing grandma all in the space of 9 months. As you can imagine it’s been very busy with lots of babysitting duties. I love this special time so much!

During the summer holiday break, I presented at the Pinnacle National Orff Conference in Perth and had a wonderful time. It was such a joy to reconnect with fellow Orffians.

Tomorrow, I start school in a very gentle way – a professional development day then no specialist classes until next week so I’ll have some time for preparation and easing back into it all. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you also can enjoy an easing back into this new year, 2025.

Ep. 18 - Echo Songs for the Primary and Elementary School

mardi 27 août 2024 • Durée 50:56

A huge welcome to Episode 18 of the Welcome to Music podcast – Echo Songs for the Primary and Elementary School

Echo songs are great for engaging children in interactive singing, helping them develop language skills, memory, and musical abilities while having fun. Incorporating echo songs into educational settings provides a multifaceted approach to learning, making it both enjoyable and effective for children.

My plan over the next few podcasts is to put together ‘A Suite of Songs’ – starting with echo songs today and then extending to call and response songs, rounds, cumulative songs and partner songs just to name a few. Songs that use these various techniques provide an inclusive setting allowing kids to sing immediately (echo and call and response) and easily dive into instant harmony with rounds and partner songs.

Ep. 17 - The Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy, Part 2

Épisode 17

mardi 13 août 2024 • Durée 30:48

A huge welcome to Episode 17 of the Welcome to Music podcast – The Dinky Di Aussie Trilology - Discover Australia with Dazza and his Fair Dinkum Aussie Tales & Tunes

In our previous Episode 16, I shared an introduction to the Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy and the song ‘Dinky Di Aussie’. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend starting there. Dazza, the Dinky Di Aussie (written and created by Susie and Phil), is an adventurous and musical spirit who embodies the true essence of an Australian traveller and performer. Hailing from the outback near the iconic "back of Burke," Dazza is known for his warm greetings and love for saying "G'day." His journeys take him across Australia and around the world, where he shares his unique blend of music, playing traditional and quirky instruments like the washboard, didgeridoo, bongos, and lagerphone.

In today’s episode, we will continue on the ‘Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy’ journey and share 2 further songs – ‘Say G’Day’ and ‘Dazza’- which follow further adventures with Dazza.

Ep. 16 - The Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy, Part 1

Épisode 16

mardi 30 juillet 2024 • Durée 28:26

A huge welcome to Episode 16 of the Welcome to Music podcast – The Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy - Discover Australia with Dazza and his Fair Dinkum Aussie Tales & Tunes

Dazza, the Dinky Di Aussie (written and created by Susie and Phil), is an adventurous and musical spirit who embodies the true essence of an Australian traveller and performer. Hailing from the outback near the iconic "back of Burke," Dazza is known for his warm greetings and love for saying "G'day." His journeys take him across Australia and around the world, where he shares his unique blend of music, playing traditional and quirky instruments like the washboard, didgeridoo, bongos, and lagerphone. "Dinky Di Aussie" captures Dazza’s pride in his Australian heritage, his use of local slang, and his welcoming nature towards newcomers. In the song "Dazza," his travels are depicted as he entertains crowds in various Australian towns, creating a lively atmosphere wherever he goes. Finally, "Say G’day" highlights Dazza’s global adventures, where he greets new friends in their native languages, spreading the joy of his Australian roots. Dazza's travels are filled with joy and camaraderie as he entertains crowds with his music and brings people together, from larrikins to sheilas and even ankle-biters. Dazza's adventures are a testament to his love for exploration, connection, and the vibrant Aussie culture.

Phil and I have created this character and written these songs to bring you a light-hearted look at our unique Aussie language and culture. The Dinky Di Aussie Trilogy includes 3 songs - ‘Say G’Day’ and ‘Dazza’ which both have echo in the choruses – one for singing and one for playing instruments while ‘Dinky Di Aussie’ is a call and response song. These ‘Echo’ and ‘Call and Response’ techniques make these songs easy to teach, immediately accessible and super engaging for children.

Ep. 15 - Sing Me a Story - Literacy and Music, Part 2

Épisode 15

mardi 18 juin 2024 • Durée 38:10

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Welcome to Music Podcast– Sing Me a Story – Part 2. Today, we’re continuing our exploration of literacy and music for young children as told through our new album, ‘Sing Me a Story’ now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and anywhere else you listen to music!

This album features 12 captivating story songs, including 5 brand-new musical tales. These songs are a mix of traditional and original stories designed to engage young listeners in a multi-sensory experience of listening, reading, singing, moving, and playing instruments. Each story integrates essential literacy skills like pre-reading, reading, writing, and spelling, while also fostering creativity, self-esteem, and confidence in every child.

In our previous episode, Episode 14, I shared insights and activities for two of our newly recorded story songs, “Oh My Aunt Came Back” and “The Tiny Caterpillar.” If you haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend starting there to get a wonderful introduction to understanding of these whimsical songs and how they blend music with literacy. The feedback we’ve had has been fantastic, and I’m excited to continue this journey with you!

In today’s episode, we’ll continue on our literacy journey and explore “The Gingerbread Man” and “Backyard Blues,” - two more enchanting and toe-tapping story songs from our new album. Like all the others, these songs are available as interactive digital flip books complete with audio tracks, lyrics, activities, song notation, literacy worksheets, and notes for teachers and parents in the Welcome to Music Store. And don’t forget, we have our recent ‘Sing Me a Story’ webinar now available as an on-demand replay (with PD Certificate) inside the Welcome to Music Membership.
