Testimonial:

Hello to the crew at Dogmatic Music,
I am writing on behalf of our school to let you know that we were very impressed with the Walk On kit. It really addressed our needs for a NAIDOC week focus. The ideas were a great starting point and guide for our assembly; and gave us good ideas to involve students. The children listened intently to what was said,and bopped along to the song! We will be using this resource again.
Many thanks,
Wendy Cameron, Teacher - Hillcrest Primary School Tasmania

Anzac Day Resource kit

Dogmatic Music has just released an Anzac Day Resource kit for schools to enable teachers to put together a simple but moving Anzac Day ceremony. The kit comes with two songs written by Dogmatic Music - "Lest We Forget" and "Australia Remembers". Check out the link to this great resource for more information.

Testimonial:

Hello team,
Just wanted to thank you for the excellent ANZAC Day kit. The Hills Christian Community School used the material as the basis of our celebration last week and it was so helpful. We adapted your thoughtful Order of Service, appreciated the inspirational songs and photographs and were moved by the Last Post. To have all those resources so easily accessible was wonderful. We included an 87 year old veteran and an Army representative from the local barracks.
Thanks again
Chris Riemann

Dogmatic Music Launches Antarctica : An Integrated Unit of Work

Dogmatic Music uses drama and music to help students gain a real understanding of this amazing continent. All subject areas are considered in this unit of work.

The musical has 14 songs covering a range of musical styles that are easy to play and sing. Each one tells a story or carries a message about some aspect of Antarctica, from its formation and exploration, to its hostile but delicate environment and the creatures that inhabit it.

The kit includes: script, songbook, CD and backing tracks, Teaching Guide and Blooms Taxonomy.

Schools are using it now!!!

Testimonial:

"They loved the variety of music types, and how some were bright and bouncy, and others were quite sad, eg the song about the killing of the seals... The rest of the school loved how they learnt so much from the play. The kids felt more comfortable using the backing cd to keep them in tune....The kids painted their own seals, whales and penguins on calico aprons to represent the different characters too"

Dogmatic Music collaboration with Illawarra Children's Services

Dogmatic Music has recently worked with Illawarra Children's Services to write a theme song for their character "Billy Backpack", the mascot of their Transition to School program.

The song "Hey Billy Backpack" has been a hit at Illawarra pre-schools and has been a great vehicle for easing anxiety for those about to head to "big school" (have a look at ICS and Billy on http://www.ics.org.au/early_childhood/transitiontoschool.html )

Further projects with ICS are in the pipeline. Watch this space!
