ItemNo Preview AvailableCreative Pedagogies with Technology: Future Proofing Teaching Training in Musicde Bruin, L ; Merrick, B ; Henriksen, D ; Mishra, P (Springer International Publishing, 2022)In this chapter, the authors will consider the benefits and challenges of enacting creative pedagogical approaches in the tertiary context and examine emerging educational practices about twenty-first century learning and technology. Creativity continues to be a key construct for twenty-first century music education practice and education, incorporating technology that delivers deeper and more profound learning experiences- that paradoxically isolate individual learning yet at the same time provoke reflection, growth, and sustainability. This chapter explores the delivery of a tertiary degree in Music Teaching, specifically addressing the following areas: • Curriculum design, delivery, and assessment, • Entrepreneurial approaches to learning through student centred activity, • Online learning, student access, self-regulation, and self-assessment, • Learning environments (including online and technology-based practice) that mirror global change, capacities, and expectations. Through a combination of annotated examples of teaching practice, selected research, and related theoretical reference, this chapter will propose a range of creative, innovative learning solutions. Importantly, this chapter draws on research undertaken with graduate students after their year of learning during the COVID pandemic and subsequently provides insights into these four areas and their influence on the students’ learning. This is supported by a discussion of a range of teaching approaches and strategies that can be used to foster creativities and shifts in teaching practice.

ItemAgua! The flourishing of Latin Music in Melbourne, Australiade Bruin, L ; de Bruin, L ; Southcott, J (Routledge, 2022-07-31)The Latin American migration experienced in the late 1970s involved numerous and diverse nationalities that found new homes in Australia. Yet, they were largely perceived and collectivised locally as ‘Latin Americans’; a homogeneous social group because of their shared language and regional proximity. Their arrival and settlement met with an already socially and musically typecast identity fashioned via early European oriented ‘continental bands’. This socio-cultural demarcation by the Anglo-European mainstream in Australia encouraged this new wave of Latin American migrants to ‘band’ together under the shared characteristics of language, culture and impromptu music-making. Following the trajectory of the first Latin band in Melbourne, Australia, this qualitative study explores the musical and social meaning-making of five foundational members of the Melbourne Latin music scene. Today’s thriving scene reflects a dynamic ecology in which a sense of community amongst musicians is central, in a city that harbours a vibrant live music scene that not only celebrates South American cultural diversity but also a diverse multicultural participation by musicians, dance studios and wider audiences. However, new immigrants and younger formally educated musicians have begun to develop unique creative voices unburdened by the politics of exile or economic hardship that defined the old-guards’ raison d'être. The perpetually disrupted and dynamic nature of the live music industry means performance opportunities for these foundational immigrants is being eroded. This study reveals interconnection between various bands and musicians that represent a diverse and complex multi-generational community that negotiate heritage and modernity; musical connectivity and Latino/a solidarity; the socio-political, cultural and aesthetic needs of the older generation; and, the changing cultural expectations of 21st century audiences and the diversification this necessitates. It offers implications to music education regarding the changing nature of Latin music, its diasporic influence and the increasing sophistication that reside in populations towards Latin music-making.

ItemJazz education: Revolution or devolution?de Bruin, L ; Sutherland, A ; Southcott, J ; de Bruin, L (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022-07-31)Jazz has long sat as a troubling concept within academia. Jazz is a dynamic and fluidly evolving set of substyles that relies on the core technique of improvisation that is all too infrequently found within the western art music curriculum. Jazz, as a predominantly improvised music, began its academic life with a fundamentally different identity within the academy that continues to put itself at odds with academic musical culture. Jazz was, and continues to be, an evolving genre that chooses improvisation over the printed page, collective democracy over ordered leadership, and freedom of expression instead of conformity and stasis. Music education was to be altered forever as jazz first became a viable option and then a defining “classical study” in its own right.
