YOUR HOSTS
Jodie Blackshaw
Jodie Blackshaw grew up in the south-east of rural Australia and formed a very personal relationship with music early in life through the creative application of her imagination to musical colours and movement. Today, she continues to seek creative experiences for students through her teaching and composing so they, too, may enjoy the personal relationship and Artistic Citizenship she discovered in her formative years. This includes the launching of her very own four-volume series “Teaching Performance through Composition”.
In 2020 Blackshaw completed her PhD in Composition at the Australian National University. Blackshaw is passionate about fostering equality in concert band programs, especially in schools. In 2017 she founded the Female Band Composer database (https://www.jodieblackshaw.com/female-band-composers) and in 2018 the website www.colourfullmusic.com.
Jodie Blackshaw is currently working on her next big adventure – a work for brass band!

This webinar provides techniques and training to improve and sustain vocal health for teachers and music students. Many music teachers are not trained in vocal techniques and the information and advice given will assist in ensuring that vocal students are properly warmed up prior to performance. Teachers also learned how to look after their own vocal health in order to prevent any vocal strain in the classroom. This training will reduce discomfort and possible long term injury. The webinar provided information on industry engagement that is relevant and meaningful for students who wish to pursue a career as a singer. It also provided helpful tips and suggestions that teachers can use in the classroom to assist students in building their professional portfolios. MusicEDU encouraged participants to stay connected with its community of teachers through social media and email.
