Providing anecdotes from her studio\, Amanda emphasises the importance of crafting language wisely to penetrate the subconscious mind with clear intention. Delving into the power and impact of metaphor\, she shows how lasting emotional and physiological change can be created — transforming unhelpful habits and impediments. Amanda highlights how the body’s natural physiological response mechanisms can be maximised through the imagination\, and teachers will discover ways to positively influence their students’ subconscious minds for authentic\, expressive and confident music making. She touches on why our neurology needs sharpened awareness during repetitive practise for gaining neurological security. \nMasterclass and Discussion — with Amanda Handel\nBased on Amanda’s compositions from the AMEB syllabus: Stalactite\, Dream Boat Blues\, and The Seduction of Andalusia. \nSAMii — Launch of Collaborative Partnership with MTASA\, presented by Pete Barter\nMore info: https://www.samii.au/about \nWizard Tone Studios — Presentation and Conversation with Sam Lench\nMore info: https://www.wizardtonestudios.com/ \nPlus a word from our Major Sponsor: Credit Union SA \nKeynote Presenter Bio: Amanda Handel \nAmanda is an active composer\, pianist\, singer and teacher based in the Blue Mountains with thriving teaching practices in Katoomba and the Penrith Conservatorium. She has also lectured in harmony\, analysis and composition at Western Sydney University\, where she graduated with a compositional research Masters’ degree in 2004. \nPublished by Wirripang\, her compositions represent a wide range of diverse and eclectic influences. She has composed numerous pieces for piano\, a number of chamber works in various combinations — including string orchestra — as well as many solo works for classical guitar and woodwind instruments. Some of these appear in AMEB publications and syllabi. Amanda has written many works commissioned by various performers and arts organisations for festivals and recordings. She has released two original piano-based CDs: Ghosts & Angels and Gardens of Stone\, collaborating with an electronic artist and a didjeridu player respectively. Both albums received excellent SMH reviews and extensive ABC radio airplay. \nHer music has been described as “hauntingly beautiful\, creative\, cohesive and compositionally advanced\,” “engaging and evocative\, seductive with a Spanish tinge\, and a lot of grit.” \nBeginning with classical piano\, Amanda’s knowledge and experience now extends into other world genres. As a vocalist\, she led Canto Latino Quartet performing a repertoire of traditional Argentinean tango and Latin music for over ten years. \nHaving graduated with her Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)\, her musical profile now has new dimensions of expertise — including certification as a BodyMinded™ (Alexander Technique) practitioner. These fascinating new fields of knowledge have become the cornerstone underpinning her musical life. \nCurrently Amanda is adapting these powerful tools and techniques to provide specialised studio teaching and intensive training workshops for musicians. Her vision incorporates writing a book elaborating on how to deliberately engage and optimise the subconscious mind in learning and performing. \nPlease visit\nhttps://www.amandahandel.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@amandahandelmusic/videos URL:https://mtasa.com.au/event/winter-professional-learning-day/ LOCATION:Australian Piano Warehouse\, 87 Winston Ave\, Daw park\, SA\, 5041\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Music Teachers Association of SA Inc.":MAILTO:info@mtasa.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250611T200000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250611T203000 DTSTAMP:20250604T112316Z CREATED:20250604T112316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250604T112316Z UID:7344-1749672000-1749673800@mtasa.com.au SUMMARY:Special General Meeting DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION MEMBERSREMINDER\nWe are calling a Special General Meeting to make some important changes to our constitution \nWednesday 11 June 2025\n8pm\nOnline: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3859333757…\nPlease check your inbox for further details about the proposed changes URL:https://mtasa.com.au/event/special-general-meeting/ LOCATION:ONLINE ORGANIZER;CN="Music Teachers Association of SA Inc.":MAILTO:info@mtasa.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250413T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250413T160000 DTSTAMP:20250321T045846Z CREATED:20250321T045846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250321T045846Z UID:7261-1744538400-1744560000@mtasa.com.au SUMMARY:Concert Performance Day #1 DESCRIPTION:The Music Teachers of South Australia (MTASA) is excited to announce our collaboration with the Australian Music Examinations Board SA & NT (AMEB) for the upcoming Concert Performance Day at Elder Hall\, University of Adelaide\, on Sunday\, April 13th\, 2025. \n DETAILS:\n\nDate: Sunday\, April 13\, 2025\nVenue: Elder Hall\, University of Adelaide\nSessions: 10:00 AM\, 12:00 PM\, and 2:00 PM\n\nThis event is exclusively available to students of MTASA teachers and enrolled AMEB candidates.

This suggests that good playing involves more than just talent and tenacity. Even when music students put in a lot of hard work and have good talents\, judges may not be impressed. Although we are all aware that competitions and exams have different requirements\, students are often guided on technicalities rather than their psychological preparedness to ace these two significant events. In this workshop\, Dr. Poom will go through the important points to be aware of when practising the piano for an exam or to win a competition. \n  \nDr Poom Prommachart\, received his Bachelor of Music\, Master of Music\, and Artist Diploma at the Royal College of Music in London on a full scholarship sponsored by the late Princess of Thailand. He went on to obtain the most prestigious Tagore Gold Medal which was handed to him by His Majesty King Charles III\, King of the United Kingdom. \n  \nIn 2022\, Dr Poom was awarded the ‘Rector’s List of Honour for the Most Exceptional Graduates’ from the University of Montreal’s Doctor of Music programme. He is currently a Steinway Artist\, an Assistant Professor at the University College Fairview and the Brand Ambassador of Kaimirra Tutan\, a rare gemstones jewellery brand. \n  \nDr Poom is currently residing in Malaysia but actively flies to different parts of the world for performance\, collaborations and adjudications. \nGET TICKETS HERE URL:https://mtasa.com.au/event/dr-poom-webinar/ ORGANIZER;CN="Music Teachers Association of SA Inc.":MAILTO:info@mtasa.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230625T143000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230625T170000 DTSTAMP:20230301T065510Z CREATED:20230228T115057Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230301T065510Z UID:6607-1687703400-1687712400@mtasa.com.au SUMMARY:2023 Concert Performance Day 2 DESCRIPTION:Concert Performance Day is an opportunity for students to perform in a very friendly environment.

How to support optimal performance\, mental health and wellbeing in music students. \nAs we have learned through many years of neuroscience research\, musical performance\, as a multi sensory task\, is one of the most complex challenges we can possibly face being aptly described by Dr Anita Collins as the “brain equivalent of a full body workout”. Given this reality\, it is hardly surprising that the process of learning music\, sustaining motivation and deliberate practice and performing under scrutiny may be incredibly challenging for many students. What we see with students with certain characteristics such as perfectionism\, high trait anxiety and challenges with focusing attention and sustaining motivation for practice is that performance often becomes more associated with threat and danger rather than a sense of challenge\, success or enjoyment. This paper and the subsequent workshops will explore practical ways of working psychologically to support student’s specific performance goals and ultimately maintain the joy of music. In the workshops Alexandra will work directly with students performing by supporting them with applying skills in the moment such as accepting\, befriending and reframing “anxiety” and the application of psychological flexibility and mindfulness skills. We will also explore the importance of finding passion\, joy and the “rage to master” their craft\, dealing with task irrelevant thoughts\, in addition to developing specific habits and the mental toughness needed to sustain mental health\, wellbeing and optimal performance. \nAlexandra Frost BA(Hons)MPsych(Clinical) \nClinical/Performance Psychologist – Attuned Psychology \nAlexandra Frost\, Director/ Clinical and Performance Psychologist of Attuned Psychology\, an established private Psychology practice in North Adelaide\, brings a unique perspective to the field of optimal performance\, mental health and wellbeing for performers having completed successful Masters research into the management of musical performance anxiety in 1997. She has since worked with musicians at all levels both individually and in workshops for almost 25 years drawing on her experience as a performer\, research and extensive clinical experience. \n  \nThis Presentation is a part of 2022 MTASA Summer Conference \nPresentation (Webinar) Sep 5th 7:30pm-8:30 pm \nMasterclass 1 (Webinar) Sep 12th 7:30pm-8:30 pm \nMasterclass 2 (Webinar) Sep 19th 7:30pm-8:30 pm URL:https://mtasa.com.au/event/alexandra-frost-presentation/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://mtasa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Frost-Eventbrite-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Music Teachers Association of SA Inc.":MAILTO:info@mtasa.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220807T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220807T170000 DTSTAMP:20220605T052508Z CREATED:20220605T051947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220605T052508Z UID:6464-1659884400-1659891600@mtasa.com.au SUMMARY:2022 MTASA Concert Performance Day 2 DESCRIPTION:MTASA Concert Performance Day is a friendly performance opportunity for music learners of all ages and levels. \nIt is an opportunity for students to perform in a very friendly environment.
