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/ LOCATION:south australia 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.

Discussion and demonstration will include the use of arm-weight for the introduction of a rich\, full sonority\, and how to teach it\, as well as the importance of developing a relaxed octave position in order to play octaves and chords more effectively. \n\n\n\nMelanie Spanswick Biography \nMelanie Spanswick (1969 – ) is a British pianist\, author\, teacher\, adjudicator\, and composer.

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/ LOCATION:south australia 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.

The time is now for you to embrace some simple technology to continue to conduct your work and to support your student’s music aspirations and their families.   \nThis method is easy for both student/parent and educator with no heavy additional cost to the lesson\, all you need is an internet connection.  \nPete is definitely across all things digital as he is at the helm of a software company that will soon launch some software that will navigate music educators through these frantic times. \nDuring the webinar\, Pete will share tips and tricks on having a quality music lesson in the online world.   Live video lessons are different but not unusual.  \nSee you in the webinar this Thursday at 7:00pm Acst.  \n  URL:https://mtasa.com.au/event/an-introduction-to-online-delivery-for-music-lessons/ LOCATION:south australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200122 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200124 DTSTAMP:20190910T231839Z CREATED:20190910T231839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190910T231839Z UID:5382-1579651200-1579823999@mtasa.com.au SUMMARY:Summer Conference 2020 DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Instrument: Musicianship in private lessons \nHow can we possibly cram in extras like aural\, theory and improvising into a single instrumental lesson?
