The Musical Playground As a Vehicle for Community-Building By The Musical Playground as a Vehicle for Community-Building by Riccardo Marsella A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music Education Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright 2021 by Riccardo Marsella ii The Musical Playground as a Vehicle for Community-Building Doctor of Philosophy in Music Education, 2021 Riccardo Marsella Faculty of Music, University of Toronto Abstract This study hovers around one central problem: the struggle between structured and unstructured learning models in education, the creative arts and community building. In this research study, I sought to outline how an alternative music education site, such as a musical playground can positively impact creative expression, music education, and community. An instrumental case study was conducted on the Music Box Village (MBV) in New Orleans, Louisiana as run by the collective and not-for-profit organization, The New Orleans Airlift. Through interviewing over 20 related stakeholders, observing grade four students playing for three consecutive days in the space, and analysis of secondary data, I learned that a musical playground itself can act as a co- composer (Morgan, 1980), a third teacher (Gandini, 1998), and a conduit for social change. The MBV is a stage for creative expression, supporting exploration, improvisation and composition through its aesthetics and design. The post-modern space celebrates rebellion in music, while honouring New Orleans tradition at the same time. As a music education environment, the MBV celebrates free play, physical and musical risk, and unstructured learning models. MBV embraces the tenets of community music (Higgins, 2012) in that it is a space outside of traditional music education which coalesces the New Orleans Bywater neighbourhood in the Upper Ninth Ward. A meta-theme of radical collaboration emerged, which was prevalent in many of the working relationships fostered by the New Orleans Airlift organization, who founded and run the MBV. iii An exemplar for this model is explored, as well as educational curricular development ideas. Keywords: architecture, community, community music, design, experiential learning, experimental music, free play, mechanical music, music, music education. iv Acknowledgments I would like to offer my deepest thanks to Dr. Lee Bartel, my supervisor, who convinced me to take on this challenge six years ago. Dr. Bartel has been a major influence on my career in music education from the early days of my undergraduate work, through; without his ongoing guidance, and belief in my work, my path would be drab and boring. Lee, thanks for your patience, leadership, and continued understanding. Dr. Linda Cameron, special thanks for being that off-camera voice of support through many a Skype call, offering your extended love and guidance. Your graduate course on play helped validate my thinking around the importance of playgrounds in the development of children. Secondly, I’d like to thank my advisory committee, Dr. Benjamin Bolden and Dr. Lori Dolloff, who have been such a great support and helped me navigate these uncharted waters with a calm and steady hand that helped keep me on track. Your belief in my work over the last two decades is so genuinely appreciated. To my new family at the Music Box Village, each of you made me feel so welcome, from the first email I sent Delaney Martin, right through to the end of this process. Thank you for your incredible spirit, as a collective, you embody the surrealism, the warmth and uniqueness of New Orleans. For experts in outsider music, you sure embody the welcoming spirit of Southern comfort. To the Board of Directors at the Regent Park School of Music in Toronto, who saw this work as a benefit to the greater community: thanks for your growing support with every year of collaboration. To all of my fellow colleagues and especially the students at Regent Park School of Music: thank you for the inspiration you provide in every note, every smile. v To R. Murray Schafer, a role model for clearing the path for future generations of weird, and who has always supported me without question. To Henk De Graauw for accepting my random friendship, introducing me to the eternal beauty in mechanical music and the art of tinkering. To my mother and father, for always providing the means, guidance and support, no matter how strange my ideas sound. Thank you to my entire family for always accepting me for who I am, and making the weird stuff just seem normal. Finally, to Lyne, the love of my life and keeper of all the right answers: thank you for the decades of adventure, I’m so honoured and lucky to spend every day I am gifted with your presence – je t’aime. vi Dedication Dedicated to the noise makers, the misfits, the tinkerers, the weirdos, those who never fit in on the traditional playground…build your own. vii Table of Contents Abstract

  • Medicine We Know It’S Good to Meditate, but We’Ve Overlooked the Healing Power of Ecstatic Shaking
    SHAKING MEDICINE WE KNOW IT’S GOOD TO MEDITATE, BUT WE’ve oVERLOOKED THE HEALING POWER OF ECSTATIC SHAKING . UNTIL NOW. By Bradford Keeney n November of 1881, a Squaxin Indian log- ger from Puget Sound named John Slocum became sick and soon was pronounced dead. As he lay covered with sheets, friends proceeded to conduct a wake and wait for Ihis wooden coffin to arrive. To everyone’s aston- ishment, he revived and began to describe an encounter he’d had with an angel. The angel told Slocum that God was going to send a new kind of medicine to the Indian people, which would enable them not only to heal others, but to heal themselves without a shaman or a doctor. This article is adapted from Shaking Medicine: The Healing Power of Ecstatic Movement, © 2007 by Bradford Keeney. Reprinted with permission of Destiny Books (InnerTraditions.com).

  • The Hell Harp of Hieronymus Bosch. the Building of an Experimental Musical Instrument, and a Critical Account of an Experience of a Community of Musicians
    1 (114) Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Music, with specialization in Improvisation Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring 2019 Author: Johannes Bergmark Title: The Hell Harp of Hieronymus Bosch. The building of an experimental musical instrument, and a critical account of an experience of a community of musicians. Supervisors: Professor Anders Jormin, Professor Per Anders Nilsson Examiner: Senior Lecturer Joel Eriksson ABSTRACT Taking a detail from Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden Of Earthly Delights as a point of departure, an instrument is built for a musical performance act deeply involving the body of the musician. The process from idea to performance is recorded and described as a compositional and improvisational process. Experimental musical instrument (EMI) building is discussed from its mythological and sociological significance, and from autoethnographical case studies of processes of invention. The writer’s experience of 30 years in the free improvisation and new music community, and some basic concepts: EMIs, EMI maker, musician, composition, improvisation, music and instrument, are analyzed and criticized, in the community as well as in the writer’s own work. The writings of Christopher Small and surrealist ideas are main inspirations for the methods applied. Keywords: Experimental musical instruments, improvised music, Hieronymus Bosch, musical performance art, music sociology, surrealism Front cover: Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly

  • Mrs. Andrea Smith Mr. Ken Haggarty
    Oryx International School Newsletter Issue 7 | March | 2021 Message from the Executive Principal Dear Parents, We are approaching spring break with (dare I say) a renewed spring in our step. I hope you will all be able to take some time to enjoy the pleasant weather and spend quality time with your families enjoying the amenities here in Qatar. We have enjoyed a very busy and much more ‘normal’ term since January. Our first set of IAL exams yielded some excellent results, our CIS Accreditation visit also yielded some excellent outcomes and we have seen a return of more of our school engagement activities, such as book days, photo competition, individual and class success in local and national mathematics competitions, the re-start of outdoor PE lessons, investigation activities, Mini-Olympics, school photographs, the launch of Orbital’s Virtual A-level programme, inter-house competitions, achieved ‘outstanding’ in the world-wide mathematics ratings from PISA, and our wonderful COVID Reflections video. We are getting back on track now and I am confident that in August we will see a return to more ‘normalised’ school activities. There are several reasons to be optimistic about the weeks and months ahead, not least the COVID vaccination programme underway in Qatar. School staff and contractors working in schools were prioritised by the government, alongside health & medical workers and the various armed & security forces. This is making our schools even safer than previously and we will be continuing with all our COVID health precautions in addition to the vaccine requirements. Our Year 12 students are also now being offered the opportunity to receive the vaccine, which shows great commitment from the MoEHE to extend this level of protection to the over-16 age group in Qatar.
