The Magic Tree of Music: Exploring the Potential of World Music Workshops as a Catalyst for Creativity in Children

It is now widely acknowledged that the diversity of sounds, rhythms, styles, techniques, and musi... more It is now widely acknowledged that the diversity of sounds, rhythms, styles, techniques, and musical structures that exists amongst the world’s musical traditions provides an opportunity for children to learn, experience, and develop a greater breadth of musical knowledge (Swanwick, 1988). For this “polymusicality” to develop, Anderson and Campbell (2011, p. 3) highlight the importance of early exposure to a large array of music practices. What has been explored less is how exposure to world music presents the opportunity for children to enhance their musical creativity as they expand musical understanding and abilities. This can take many forms, including improvisation that many of the world’s musical traditions feature as an important characteristic, providing a forum for imagination, experimentation, and association of new and often quite disparate musical ideas. All these aspects may contribute to enhance children’s musical and general creativity. This is highly relevant in clas...

Initiate, Create, Activate: Practical Solutions for Making Culturally Diverse Music Education a Reality

Australian journal of music education, 2013

This paper presents the voices of three practitioners experienced in, and passionate about the field of culturally diverse music education. Over the past 25 years the presenters have ignited an interest in world musics in their students from pre-school to higher education in North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. They have been committed to creating innovative programs which practically reflect the changing nature of contemporary classrooms within a global society. The paper provides a review of the current state of culturally diverse music education in North America and Australia - exploring underlying philosophical constructs, prevailing attitudes and current teacher training experiences - as a theoretical framework for a practical 'how to' guide for school teachers; tried and tested with a wide variety of ...

Audience connectivity in orchestral performances

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the various elements of a proposed Orchestral Sustainability Framework and determine if and how these elements contribute to an increased audience connection with the music performance experience. Three main elements are explored in this Orchestral Sustainability Framework: 1. Social aspects of audience connection such as performer/audience interaction and ways of emotional engagement 2. Artistic aspects of audience connection such as the impact of poly-stylistic genres, blend of instruments and sounds and the importance of inter-sensory perception using visuals, theatre and music 3. Economic aspects of audience connection such as networking with business partnerships, impact of branding and marketing and the importance of distribut...
