not be very harsh. If someone is listening to music and gets the remark: “How can you listen to that terrible music?”, the music listener gets hurt and angry and starts to defend her/his musical prefer- ences. But if the person who gives such a remark was aware of that the music is linked to the music listener’s origin and cultural background, there would

  • “Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
    “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights.

  • Beethoven and Banjos - an Annual Musical Celebration for the UP
    Beethoven and Banjos - An Annual Musical Celebration for the UP Beethoven and Banjos 2018 festival is bringing Nordic folk music and some very unique instruments to the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock, Michigan. Along with the musicians from Decoda (Carnegie Hall’s resident chamber group) we are presenting Norwegian Hardanger fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim and Swedish Nyckelharpist Anna Gustavsson. Guro Kvifte Nesheim grew up in Oslo, Norway, and started playing the Hardanger fiddle when she was seven years old. She has learned to play the traditional music of Norway from many great Hardanger fiddle players and has received prizes for her playing in national competitions for folk music. In 2013 she began her folk music education in Sweden at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. Guro is composing a lot of music, and has a great interest and love for the old music traditions of Norway and Sweden. In 2011 she went to the world music camp Ethno and was bit by the “Ethno-bug”. Since then she has attended many Ethno Camps as a participant and leader, and setup Ethno Norway with a team of fellow musicians. In spring 2015 she worked at the Opera House of Gothenburg with the dance piece “Shadowland”. The Hardanger fiddle is a traditional instrument from Norway. It is called the Hardanger Fiddle because the oldest known Hardanger Fiddle, made in 1651, was found in the area Hardanger. The instrument has beautiful decorations, traditional rose painting, mother-of-pearl inlays and often a lion’s head. The main characteristic of the Hardanger Fiddle is the sympathetic strings that makes the sound very special – it’s like an old version of a speaker that amplifies the sound.

Dai 5 agli 80 anni. La musica preferita? Dalla classica all’hip-hop. Gli spazi frequentati? Parchi e spiagge. Perché loro sono spiriti liberi. In attesa di spiccare il volo… Marzia Coltellacci & Valeria Ciappa Se riuniamo un bambino, una casalinga, uno studente e un pensionato in uno spazio all’aperto e lasciamo che le loro personalità interagiscano, quale può essere il risultato? Probabilmente un esilarante confronto tra discordanti modi di essere. Se, però, al tutto aggiungiamo un frisbee, assistiamo a un singolare scontro pacifico. Il frisbee è un mix perfetto di movimenti acrobatici e regole di svariate discipline sportive che proprio per questo permette di fondere caratteri così diversi tra loro. Eppure quando si pensa al frisbee si pensa subito al classico scambio del disco tra due persone sulla spiaggia. Considerato da molti solo un passatempo estivo, pochi sanno invece che il frisbee è un variegato mondo di discipline sportive praticate su sabbia e prato. Per capire il mondo del frisbee bisogna paragonarlo a quello della palla. Se infatti la palla è la protagonista di un’infinità di sport, dal calcio al basket, dalla pallavolo al rugby, dalla pallamano alla pallanuoto, anche il frisbee è il protagonista di un’ampia gamma di sport e giochi di squadra o individuali.

Den visar på betydelsen för enskilda personer av att ingå i ett socialt sammanhang de själva valt och hur detta i sin tur kan ha betydelse för den plats där detta förekommer. Det som har utgjort grunden för undersökningen 2014:1 mening är den forna Arvikafestivalens organisation, Galaxen. Festivalen är skapad i ett underifrånperspektiv till största delen i ett ideellt sammanhang. Syftet med En studie om gemenskap och samarbete i skapandet av avhandlingen är att förstå hur positiva sociala effekter skapas i de relationer som Arvikafestivalen uppstår i arbetet med en festival och hur det i sin tur blir en del av platsskapandet. Intervjuer har genomförts med personer som har arbetat i festivalorganisationen från Arvikafestivalens start år 1992. Det är deras upplevelser och erfarenheter som i huvudsak utgjort underlaget för analysen. I sammanhanget diskuteras även Leena Hagsmo betydelsen av Arvikas kulturarv för uppkomsten av festivalen. Avhandlingen visar att Arvikafestivalen var av betydelse för många människor och bidrog till att nya processer startade. Det skapades en tillåtande miljö där det fanns utrymme för egna idéer. Genom att planera och skapa något tillsammans med andra uppstod en stark gemenskap. De kontakter och de lärdomar som individerna erhöll ur arbetet med festivalen har gett avtryck på platsen Arvika.

  • Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran
    Negotiating a Position: Women Musicians and Dancers in Post-Revolution Iran Parmis Mozafari Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Music January 2011 The candidate confIrms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2011 The University of Leeds Parmis Mozafari Acknowledgment I would like to express my gratitude to ORSAS scholarship committee and the University of Leeds Tetly and Lupton funding committee for offering the financial support that enabled me to do this research. I would also like to thank my supervisors Professor Kevin Dawe and Dr Sita Popat for their constructive suggestions and patience. Abstract This research examines the changes in conditions of music and dance after the 1979 revolution in Iran. My focus is the restrictions imposed on women instrumentalists, dancers and singers and the ways that have confronted them. I study the social, religious, and political factors that cause restrictive attitudes towards female performers. I pay particular attention to changes in some specific musical genres and the attitudes of the government officials towards them in pre and post-revolution Iran. I have tried to demonstrate the emotional and professional effects of post-revolution boundaries on female musicians and dancers. Chapter one of this thesis is a historical overview of the position of female performers in pre-modern and contemporary Iran.
