ATKV-Crescendo: Tyd vir inskrywings raak min
Die tyd vir voornemende kunstenaars om oorweeg te word vir ATKV-Crescendo se mentorskapprogram in 2025 raak min. Belangstellendes het tot 31 Desember 2024 tyd om vir hierdie projek in te skryf.
Oor die afgelope vyf dekades het Crescendo gehelp om die musikale loopbane van kunstenaars soos Rina Hugo, Riana Nel, Jak de Priester, Anna Davel, Anneli van Rooyen en Karin Hougaard af te skop. Die formaat het egter oor die jare verander. “In plaas van ’n talentkompetisie waar net een persoon as ’n wenner aangewys word, fokus ATKV-Crescendo deesdae op die ontwikkeling van musikante, want talente is nie gegee om teen mekaar te kompeteer nie, maar eerder om mekaar daardeur te verryk,” verduidelik projekorganiseerder Morné van Staden. “Deur die jaar woon ’n aantal finaliste slypskole by om hulle voor te berei op ’n loopbaan in die kunste. Daar word ook klem gelê op nuutskeppings, aangesien kunstenaars liedjies moet inskryf wat uit hulle eie pen kom.”
Die talent wat uit hierdie mentorskapprogram gekom het, het die ATKV genoop om ATKV-Crescendoproduksies te begin, wat nuwe produksies op die planke bring en finaliste help om hulle liedjies, albums en musiekvideo’s vry te stel. Hierdie produkte kan op aanlyn platforms soos YouTube gesien word en liedjies word op radiostasies en stroomplatforms soos Apple Music, YouTube Music, Spotify, Amazon Music en Deezer vrygestel. “Op hierdie manier,” verduidelik Morné, “voorsien ATKV-Crescendo ’n konstante vloei van nuwe stemme, kunstenaars en liedjies vir die Afrikaanse musiekindustrie.”
Alhoewel die finaliste dit eens is dat die mentorskapprogram hulle musikale loopbane ’n hupstoot gegee het, is die persoonlike groei wat die kunstenaars hierdie jaar ervaar het nie te versmaai nie. Lize-Marié Naudé verklap dat sy gedink het die ervaring gaan “cool” wees, maar “nie só cool nie”. “Selfs toe ek die e-pos kry dat ek deurgedring het na die slypskool was dit reeds lewensveranderend. Die mense is egter next level. By hulle kon ek net myself wees. Dit was nie nodig om voor te gee nie. Dit was nie nodig om grimering aan te sit nie. Ek is aanvaar net soos ek is en dit is wat die mooi van musiek en musikante is – ons bring die beste in mekaar uit. Die ATKV-Crescendo-familie is nou die een familie wat ek nie gaan los nie.”
Meer selfvertroue is wat vir Lester Paulus (aka Crimson Hozai) uitstaan as hy die persoonlike groei wat hy hierdie jaar ervaar het, moet beskryf. “Ek het meer vertroue in myself, die tipe musiek wat ek skryf en die tipe kunstenaar wat ek is. Ek kan ook nou oor enige onderwerp skryf en rap. Na dese verstaan ek dat my opinie van ander s’n verskil en ek is oukei daarmee.”
Potensiële finaliste kan hul inskrywings digitaal instuur, maar daar is ook talentsoekers in verskillende dele van Namibië en Suid-Afrika wat oudisies in persoon hou indien deelnemers dit verkies. Die inskrywingsproses werk soos volg: Besoek crescendo.org.za indien jy ’n digitale inskrywing wil doen. Hier sal jy ook kontakbesonderhede kry van talentsoekers in Suid-Afrika en Namibië indien jy eerder ’n oudisie in persoon wil doen. Die sluitingsdatum vir alle inskrywings is 31 Desember 2024.
Uit hierdie inskrywings word 25 finaliste genooi na ’n omvattende mentorskapprogram tydens die Maart/April-skoolvakansie.
Die doel van hierdie weeklange mentorskapprogram is om die finaliste toe te rus met genoegsame kennis en kundigheid om hul loopbane af te skop hetsy hulle deurdring na die volgende ronde of nie.
Na afloop van die mentorskapprogram word daar tien finaliste uit die 25 gekies. Hierdie tien finaliste tree op in ’n reeks produksies gedurende die jaar.
Tydens ’n finale slypskool kry finaliste loopbaankartering en een-tot-een-onderrig, want hierdie groep is die mense wat met die ondersteuning van Crescendo hul musiekloopbane afskop.

Playful dads, happy kids:
Building
connections through fun
Engaging in play is one of the most impactful ways fathers can enhance their children’s well-being. Play is essential to a child’s development, nurturing cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth. Recognising this, Takalani Sesame launched its Bond Through Play Campaign in August, encouraging father figures to embrace the power of play.
“Fathers bring unique perspectives and strengths to play, complementing the care mothers provide,” says Mari Payne, Deputy Managing Director at Sesame Workshop South Africa. Playtime not only strengthens the parentchild bond but also challenges harmful gender stereotypes, promoting caregiving as a shared responsibility.
Takalani Sesame offers practical advice for fathers at every stage of a child’s development:
• Infants: Engage in gentle rocking or massage to provide comfort and build trust.
• Toddlers: Participate in active games like chasing or throwing a ball to develop motor skills and coordination.
• Preschoolers: Encourage imaginative play, such as storytelling or dressup, to foster creativity and language development.
Fun, Family-Friendly Games
Make playtime enjoyable with these South African classics and creative ideas:
• Hide and Seek: Play indoors or outdoors to promote problem-solving and physical activity.
• Round-robin storytelling: Add hand shadows for a magical twist, enhancing imagination and narrative skills.
• Cooking: Turn meal prep into a scavenger hunt, encouraging participation and learning about food.
• Traveling: Count cars by color or play “I spy” to keep children engaged and attentive.
More Fun Activities for Bonding:
• Scavenger Hunt: Create a treasure map for your home or garden and hide small treats or toys for children to find.
• Obstacle Course: Use household items like chairs, cushions, and broomsticks to create a fun indoor or outdoor course.
• Musical Chairs: An old favorite that combines movement, music, and laughter.
• Paper Plane Contest: Make paper planes and see who can fly theirs the furthest.
• Nature Walk Bingo: Create a simple bingo sheet with items to spot during a walk, such as leaves, birds, and flowers.
• Puppet Shows: Create puppets from socks or paper bags and put on a family performance.
• Dress-Up Adventures: Use old clothes and accessories for imaginative play as pirates, superheroes, or explorers.
• Ball Games: Play soccer, basketball, or catch in the yard or at a local park.
• Simon Says: A classic game that improves listening and following instructions.
• Dancing Games: Have a mini family disco with favorite songs.
Quiet and Calming Activities:
• Puzzle Time: Work on age-appropriate puzzles together to build problem-solving skills.
• Story Time: Take turns reading or inventing stories to enhance imagination.
• Building Projects: Use LEGO, building blocks, or household items to create towers or imaginative structures.
“Playing with your children means spending quality time with them,” says Payne. “It’s an investment in their social, emotional, and academic growth, as well as their readiness for school.
As the December holidays approach, it’s the perfect time for families to embrace the joys of play and create lasting memories together. Whether through traditional games, imaginative adventures, or simply spending quality moments with your children.
