"I really enjoyed finding out the process that musicians use and I would have loved to touch on lyric writing a tad more but all in all, it was an amazing learning opportunity." Miah Year 9

Your lessons are expertly sequenced and paced.

"Thankyou for the opportunity for the composer presentation. I really enjoyed it and it was very helpful, I learnt a lot and will definitely use that when writing songs. Overall it was amazing, I learnt so much. Thankyou" Tahlia Year 9

This was a really useful and engaging workshop, full of practical ideas for students to get composing. It was presented in a friendly and approachable way, and students had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in effective discussions about the compositional process.

Structuring a Music program was a great PD which I thoroughly enjoyed attending and I came out of it with great new ideas and a new fresh approach to implementing a new curriculum design . This is perfect timing with our Teacher Accord day coming up early next term , where we have been asked to make decisions and develop material for our new Year 11 Music course next year.

You always run great PD's. Please keep them coming. You're great!

I really enjoyed that we were able to learn from someone professional in the industry, being able to learn about the compositional process and how to create a song/composition that is meaningful and evokes a range of emotions. It was rewarding to be able to share our ideas and knowledge with him and build upon these in a supportive environment.  - Reo

I attended a fantastic workshop and Music PD from Andrew Stopps where lots of fantastic new ideas and resources were shared with other music teachers who attended the PD , these resources will be very helpful when teaching composition in the classroom and I'm sure my students will enjoy also using them . The best workshop that I have attended this year ! and I look forward to future workshops.

THANKYOU SO MUCH!! Great resources and delivered in a friendly way. Excellent!

My senior students were so inspired by your session and their compositions are blossoming!

I so appreciate your generosity, enthusiasm, and expertise, Andrew. Thanks for being so open with us about all your experiences and for giving us lots of great resources to work with. Thanks!

The students all found the advice helpful and clear and are all looking forward to another one. They really enjoyed the opportunity for feedback on student work. Your approachable nature.
