Monday 3 August was the end of our VCE Music classes on campus before remote learning began for Term 3. We made the most of the practical session by performing in front of each other one more time in the classroom — with masks on.
On Wednesday students returned to remote learning and music performance became a bit more complicated. Education Minister James Merlino said “I am mindful of how disruptive this year has been for our VCE and VCAL students and we are doing all we can to support them”. And with this statement in mind, everyone at MLMC is here to help students to build good practice and learning habits while learning remotely.
While this can be an overwhelming time for some Music students, especially with the challenges of using unfamiliar technology, we are not going to reinvent the wheel — we will keep it simple with effective and editable online resources.
Students will continue to perform and present online via Google Meet in their own environment. As a class, we will have the opportunity to collaborate and create discussion topics. However, the most important part of the process is to stay safe, connected and engaged.
