ABOUT

MusoMagic provides exciting, high-energy workshops in which students work together to write and record an original song that is fully produced and “radio-ready”. It is a unique opportunity to engage students through music and ignite their enthusiasm for learning, providing a sense of achievement and empowerment in the process and outcome.

MusoMagic recognises that all students have different needs and that some thrive on alternatives to the traditional classroom to achieve. The success of MusoMagic has shown that giving students the chance to learn in non-traditional environments can increase their enthusiasm for school and the likelihood that they will go on to complete 12 years of schooling.

The many benefits of MusoMagic workshops include:
- development and enhancement of writing and literacy skills
- time management, goal-setting and teamwork
- creative expression
- leadership development, negotiation skills
- personal growth and development

“This kind of thing gives us an opportunity to show a different side of us that others don’t see. We have a new skill to help with career opportunities. We meet new people and have such a good, fun, amazing time. I’m not usually one to sing or dance in front of people, but in the last two days I have done things that I have never done before and I’m so glad I did.”

Students aren’t the only ones to benefit! Teachers, particularly non-music teachers, have found that the program empowers and motivates them by re-igniting their passion for teaching and learning with their students. Their participation is highly encouraged, so that they come away inspired by new ideas, having explored music as a communication tool and worked with students to achieve positive outcomes.

MusoMagic can deliver a professional development workshop designed specifically for teachers.
