WollCon’s In School Program is an immersive exploration of the elements of music through improvisation, listening and response. A classroom program suitable for Stages 1, 2 and 3 – it is a hands-on practical experience of music, instruments, and musical ideas.

The WollCon teacher presents weekly lessons (30 mins-1 hour) throughout the term, working alongside the students’ regular classroom teacher. Students can interact with musical instruments and experience aspects of ensemble playing, performance and improvisation. The activities range from specific skill-based lessons to broader explorations of the gestures and cultural place of music through play and ideas.

Students and classroom teachers do not require any previous experience, and schools are not required to have their own musical instrument resources for this program.
