"Music Trouble" is an experimental paper, a linear re-presentation of the multi-media performance (which included costume, poetry, photographs, and musical scores, in addition to the paper) designed for the Ottawa Border Crossings Conference. "Music Trouble" explores identity construction through music and music education, specifically in relation to issues of sexuality. Judith Butler's idea of "gender is drag" and Sue-Ellen Case's "butch-femme aesthetic" are employed in conjunction with feminist auto/biography to critique current theories and practices supporting music education.

This article explores the development and creative outcomes of the Yijala Yala Project. This project was created in the Pilbara region as a long-term, inter-generational, multi-platform arts project that set out to highlight cultural heritage as living, continually evolving and in the ‘here and now’ rather than something static. The project name Yijala Yala means ‘now’ in the two main regional languages of Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma. Yijala Yala works with members of the local Aboriginal community to create content that reflects cultural heritage in new ways, and is also created using new methods of teaching and skill-building.Yijala Yala has created content in the following media: films, music, recordings, photographs, books, animation and apps. A major artistic outcome of the project is the beautiful operatic, cross-cultural, multi-media performance work Hipbone Sticking Out, which has played in the Centenary of Canberra Festival and the Melbourne Festival, as well as in Roebourne and Perth.

This article engages the narratives of three Toronto hip-hop artists to explore the pedagogical possibilities revealed through the processes of performance identity construction. By immersing themselves in hip-hop communities, artists learn ways of knowing and negotiating their place at the interstices of the normative frameworks that underlie their unique combinations of cultural contexts. Artists’ stories reveal how they bring themselves into being through movement and sound. These narrations of identity become indicative of an artist’s style through performative iterations embedded with the opportunity for enacting difference. For hip-hop artists, deviating from performative expectations is not a mere possibility, but formative intention in the tradition of the African American practice of Signifyin(g), as delineated by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Conversations with hip-hop artists invite reflection on what we could accomplish through a music education pedagogy that cultivates creative deviancy that reveals, breaks open and overturns limiting conventions.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of forms and methods of application of information technologies in the educational process of children’s art schools in the implementation of programs in the field of musical performance. The article considers the synthesis of the unconditional preservation of the existing traditions of the primary level of the Russian music school and the methodological expediency of using new technologies in the educational process of children’s art schools. Specific software developments, electronic educational resources are proposed for use, the application effect in the educational process is described. The article shows that the introduction of new musical information technologies provides additional opportunities for musicians when working with musical scores, orchestral parts, when performing creative tasks in subjects of the theoretical cycle. The article also discusses and analyzes the interactive educational programs of the series «Playing with Music».

Este artigo reflete sobre a arte de construir problemas de pesquisa em educação musical e busca enfatizar a natureza complexa da atividade, a filiação múltipla a correntes tradicionais de pensamento — tanto na linha do positivismo como na da hermenêutica —, e ainda, a pré-existência de problematizações inerentes à própria arte musical, algo que ressignifica as problematizações em educação musical em verdadeiras meta- problematizações. Ao tomar essa etapa do processo de investigação como objeto de atenção, identifica aspectos cruciais, caracterizando-os como verdadeiras responsabilidades a serem observadas nos projetos, dispondo-os em torno de uma série de dimensões — filosófica e metodológica, poietica, social, política, identitária e de eficácia. <br> <br> <B>Palavras-chave</B>: educação musical, problematização, metodologia de pesquisa, poietica da educação, Ernst Widmer.<br> <br> <br> <B>Abstract</B>: This article reflects upon the art of developing research problems in music education and emphasizes the complex nature of this activity, its multiple affiliation to distinct traditions of thought — both in the positivistic and hermeneutic sides.

The Handbook of Music, Adolescents, and Wellbeing explores how young people use music to work with emotions, identity construction, and connectedness, drawing on perspectives from music therapy, music psychology, music education, and music sociology. Authors provide examples of how theory and research is applied in the practice of music therapists working with groups of adolescents and individuals in schools, communities, hospitals, and other institutions. Research into music and emotions is synthesized, and theories about music and identity construction are provided. The ways that young people use music for connections is explored with a particular emphasis on technology, as well as traditional face-to-face connectedness. The Handbook is written for those interested in promoting adolescent wellbeing using music.

Abstract This essay focuses on two laboratory performances. First was my staging of Ohio Impromptu, a bi-lingual, imagistic, multi-media performance that I directed in Sopot, Poland in May of 2016 with Polish filmmaker Elvin Flamingo as a laboratory performance. Part of the attraction to such a research exercise was the opportunity to work again with English actor Jon McKenna, and with legendary Polish actor Ryszard Ronchewski, who played Lucky in a Polish production of Waiting for Godot in the 1950s. The following year I returned to what I saw as an incomplete research project, as I was afforded a similar opportunity to explore another work for a laboratory performance, “… but the clouds …,” a treatment of love lost, through abandonment or death, perhaps, as a set of haunting images or images of hauntings. These were attempts to excavate possibilities of the work in intense, two-day laboratory rehearsals and performances. In the case of “… but the clouds …,” I worked with Polish filmmakers Szymon and Martyna Eliasz and their team, with whom we decided to film and record all of the teleplay except the comings and goings, and the patterns of repetitive movement.

The Way

Performing musicians frequently use physical gestures that are more elaborate than required for sound production alone. Such movements are not prescribed in traditional musical scores, nor are they evident in audio recordings, and consequently they are rarely regarded as integral to a formal musical analysis. However, there is growing evidence that these movements do in fact alter an audience’s listening experience—i.e., the way a performance “sounds.” Therefore, we believe that analyses of these movements can inform more traditional analyses of notes and rhythms by lending insight into the way in which these musical elements areperceived. Here, we review research on the role of gestures in shaping the musical experience, focusing in particular on gestures used by percussionists to control perceived note duration. This paper embraces the multi-media affordances ofMusic Theory Onlineby integrating stimuli from key experiments—the first publication of these materials. Our aim is not only to summarize a growing body of work on the musical role of extra-acoustic factors such as ancillary gestures, but also to present new avenues of musical research that complement existing approaches.

The article presents one of the most current problems of modern music education concerning concertmaster training of students in higher education institutions of arts as one of the priority components of their future profession. The author of the article notes that music lessons in secondary school encourage teacher to the active manifestation not only of music and performing skills, but willingness to perform concertmaster job at a high professional level. A wide range of music teacher’s concertmaster activities results in a whole set of his professional skills such as: coordinating teacher’s performance activity with the soloist, the ability to read musical scores sheet, edit it, transpose the music material, pick accompaniment, if necessary, simplify or complicate maintenance, perform own song accompaniment etc. In light of this, the weight of the concertmaster classes increases, which acquires the status of primary professional development of future expert. The author of the article highlights the features of instrumental and performance training of future music teacher at concertmaster classes and exposes potential possibilities of students’ music and performance development during these classes, in particular, development of future music teachers’ skills and abilities that are unique for concertmaster activities. The author points out such skills as: ability to accompany own singing, combine accompaniment while singing a soloist party, simplify or complicate the texture of musical accompaniment, read three rows of musical scores sheet, transpose music in connection with tessitura capabilities of performers, pick the melody and detailed accompaniment to it, ensemble skills, etc. The article states that concertmaster classes allow future music teachers to master necessary knowledge for future professional activity and skills and to fill the performance store with works of school repertoire.
