2024 Elementary Music Summit Jack Sprat
A choral piece for 2-Part treble voices, by Debbie O'Shea

Jack Sprat

This fun piece, based on traditional text, was written with young choirs in mind. The part work begins simply with echo, progressing to short phrases of two part that is simple to learn and sing.

2024 Elementary Music Summit Daintree River
A choral piece for 3-Part treble voices, by Debbie O'Shea

Daintree River

The inspiration for a children’s choral work about this magical part of the world was born during the time I lived in Cairns. I am sure visitors to the area share my wonder, and it is my hope that some of the power, beauty, spirituality and enchantment is conveyed through the music. I love the sounds and the sometimes surprising harmonies created by using the Phrygian mode.

What members have to say about the
Crescendo Music Education Membership...

Carolyn Gunston

"I use many of the resources from Crescendo in my teaching. It is wonderful to know that I have a place that I can easily go to if I need any support or ideas.

I would highly recommend becoming a member of Crescendo Music to all music teachers!"

Cathy Cheel

"I attended a number of workshops before I became a Crescendo member but only after I took up membership, did I realise how much information and support I had been missing out on in previous years. 

I now feel that any problem I have or any time I am looking for fresh ideas, I can look back on newsletters, email Debbie or attend a workship and I’ll always have support. It's good to connect with other music teachers, share ideas and find solutions to some of the problems we face at school.

Crescendo provides a great sense of community which is invaluable amongst specialist teachers."

Anne O’Regan

"Being the only primary music teacher at my school means that I have no colleagues with which I can discuss planning, resources and assessment. I felt professionally
isolated.

I feel much more organised and supported in my teaching role [now]. I think feedback to students is more authentic and the criteria for tasks is much clearer. My lessons are
more engaging with the resources I have gathered at workshops and through the [membership] website."
