Creative problem solving for success
There can be plenty of barriers to success when it comes to establishing and maintaining a successful music program in schools. Whether it’s a question of resourcing, rooming, or reluctant engagement from leadership and teachers, challenges exist which often require creative problem solving to overcome.
Join your expert panel at the Music in Me Summit and be inspired by their stories of overcoming the obstacles through innovative thinking, persistent advocacy, and the magical spark of switching children (and their adults) on to the power of music.
Panel facilitated by Genevieve Lang, with Brett Weymark, Lyn Williams, Dr Anita Collins, Rachel Scott and Hamish Tait.
Facilitator
Genevieve Lang
Genevieve Lang is well known to Australian audiences as a harpist and broadcaster. You might well have seen her on stage with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and she’s enjoyed a long association with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. She’s also a founding member of SHE (Seven Harp Ensemble) and has performed as soloist with several orchestras around the country and overseas.
A few years ago, Genevieve became interested in writing and speaking about music and the world of music administration. Since then, she’s taken on education projects for Musica Viva, given pre-concert talks to audiences in Sydney and Hobart, led tours for Hayllar Music Tours, and worked with Pinchgut Opera, Gondwana Choirs and the Australian Youth Orchestra.
These days you’re more likely to hear her voice than her harp, as a presenter on ABC Classic. And she occasionally pops up on your television screens for special classical music events on ABC TV and ABC iView. For Genevieve, broadcasting and media are the perfect way to share her passion for classical music with the biggest possible audience!
