Spano 6 Foreword It was in October 2016, when I first received an email from a very good friend and colleague, Patricia Gonzales, proposing me the possibility to organize the 57th International Society for Music Education (ISME) Research Commission (RC) Seminar in the Canadian University Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I must admit that I was quite hesitant to do so in the very beginning. Not because I did not have the experience of organizing similar events; rather I was feeling that music and music education were fairly both absent as conference - not to mention academic - fields in the UAE up to that moment. Moreover, as I was a newcomer in Dubai at that time, I was not quite sure how I could handle both the administration as well as the academic outreach of such an important, high caliber and surely demanding event in this new for me working and academic framework. Indeed, it was the RC Chair, Evelyn Orman a few days later, showcasing a lot of support in our very first email correspondence, who persuaded me to accept this project; a project which finally reached to be what could be seen later on as a very distinctive event for both ISME and the Canadian University Dubai. A truly diversified content of research was exposed in the 57th ISME RC seminar in Dubai, bringing some remarkable knowledge under the international music education spotlight. In the aftermath of the proceedings it seems to me that the seminar successfully managed to analyze the general situation and existing problems of music education and its creative research initiatives across the globe; it introduced advanced experiences in the ever expanding multicultural contexts of our times; it undeniably helped for the exchange of ideas on cutting-edge theories and major practices of music making and music education, while it also proposed many constructive frameworks on improved, more efficient, more balanced and more sustainable practices in the music education context. Most importantly however, it should be noted that the RC seminar in Dubai, not only stretched international collaborations and networking as it was supposed to do in the first place, but it gloriously planted the seeds for music education research to officially start existing as a domain to this very welcoming for the field eastern part of the world, too. Such an achievement was confirmed in two ways: (a) the full acceptance and support the event enjoyed by the local authorities - The Canadian University Dubai, the Dubai Tourism and Dubai Business Events; and (b) by the fact that for the first time in ISME’s existing history, three U.A.E. based members were officially registered under the ISME’s membership; a great win for the Arab and the rest of the music education world.

Krogstad Mambo from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein 2 Many thanks to the Elgin Symphony’s education committee for the idea to take this concert on a world tour! It was a unanimous choice: let’s sample orchestral music from the world’s seven continents. Choosing the repertoire for the concert was not as easy as we thought it might be during the conception of this program. How can we narrow down the large quantity of orchestral music from Europe, where the symphony orchestra originated? Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven would all be obvious choices. In a surprising twist we chose a composer from Poland, the home of the brilliant violinist and composer Henryk Wieniawski. We are thrilled to have young violinist Claire Arias-Kim as our soloist for Wieniawski’s Polonaise brilliante No. 2. What repertoire can we choose from the continents with musical traditions that don’t necessarily include traditional western orchestral instruments? What do we do about Antarctica? (We always try to program something that’s just pure fun.) For Africa, we felt it was important to demonstrate the drumming traditions and to highlight the expertise of one of our members, percussionist Michael Folker. It became a concert of interesting connections.

    Africa's Soft Power : Philosophies, Political Values, Foreign Policies and Cultural Exports / Oluwaseun Tella

    “This seven-chapter book is a powerful testimonial to consummate African scholarship. Its analysis is rigorous, insightful, lucid and authoritative, providing fresh perspectives on selected uniquely African philosophies, and the potential­ ities, deployment and limitations of soft power in Africa’s international relations. The author rigorously Africanises the concept, broadening its analytic scope from its biased Western methodology, thus brilliantly fulfilling that great African pro­ verb made famous by the inimitable Chinua Achebe: ‘that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter’. This is truly an intellectual tour de force.” W. Alade Fawole, Professor of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. “This book addresses an important tool in the arsenal of foreign policy from an African perspective. African states have significant soft power capacities, although soft power is not always appreciated as a lever of influence, or fully integrated into countries’ foreign policy strategies. Tella takes Nye’s original concept and Africanises it, discussing Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa via their respective philosophies of Pharaonism, Harambee, Omolúwàbí and Ubuntu. This study is a critical contribution to the literature on African foreign policies and how to use soft power to greater effect in building African agency on the global stage.” Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, South African Institute of International Affairs, Johannesburg, South Africa. “Soft power is seldom associated with African states, given decades bedevilled by coup d’états, brazen dictatorships and misrule. This ground-breaking book is certainly a tour de force in conceptualising soft power in the African context.
  • Children's Improvised Vocalisations

    Children's Improvised Vocalisations

    Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood Volume 9 Number 4 2008 www.wwwords.co.uk/CIEC Children’s Improvised Vocalisations: learning, communication and technology of the self JAN SVERRE KNUDSEN Oslo University College, Norway ABSTRACT The intention of this article is to explore, challenge and expand our understandings of children’s improvised vocalisations, a fundamentally human form of expression. Based on selected examples from observation and recording in non-institutional settings, the article outlines how this phenomenon can be understood as learning and as communication. This is supplemented by suggesting a third possible approach which places these vocal forms within the frame of understanding implied by Foucault’s term ‘technology of the self’. This theoretical perspective entails recognising improvised vocalisations as tools used to ‘act upon the self’ in order to attain or reinforce a certain mental state or mood – happiness, satisfaction, anger or longing – in short, as a way in which children learn to know the self as a self. In line with a Foucauldian perspective is also a focus on the negotiation of power and how music serves as an empowering agent in children’s everyday social interaction. Finally, informed by Vygotsky’s approach to understanding the relationship between language and mental development, the author discusses the gradual disappearance of improvised vocalisations. Introduction Spontaneous improvised vocal expressions are something everyone who deals with small children has heard: playful musical doodling, endless repetitions of melodic phrases or creative new versions of known songs. They fascinate and amuse us, irritate and annoy us. They are regarded as noisy behaviour, charming play or beginning musicality.

    Christian Wolff and the Politics of Music David Tudor, with characteristic perspicacity, noticed the influence of children (of being a parent) in Christian Wolff’s music-making. “While working with David Tudor on Burdocks, he said that he could see the results of having small kids around—my music had loosened up.”1 Becoming a parent, bringing a human being into the world, makes one more aware of ideological constraints and pressures. A domestic culture vies with a prevailing dominant culture which is predatory, aggressive, and individualistic, a day-to-day confrontation of irreconcilable attitudes. The informality of Wolff’s indeterminate music-making from the Sixties and early Seventies, culminating in Burdocks (1970–1), is an integral part of that domestic culture and strives to instill and safeguard values that are at odds with those from without which threaten to engulf us. Michael Chant succinctly characterizes the essence of the philosophical issue at hand: Collective work and experience stands against what is being promoted on all fronts as the “me” culture, where the issue, for example, becomes that art has importance because it expresses “my” life, “I” did this first, or it gratifies “me.” This can only contribute to the general crisis of society.2 Music is an integral part of the fabric of our social existence. In the early Seventies raising a family coincided with a political involvement, expressed unequivocally in Wolff’s music, moving (ideologically) from what he characterized as democratic libertarianism (anarchism) toward democratic socialism, which in one way or another was supported and promoted by the use of political songs and texts.

    Företagsekonomiska institutionen STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Magisteruppsats 10 poäng VT 2006 Marknadsföring av begåvningar inom Musikbranschen Författare: Lena Brodin Handledare: Marianne Nilson Per Englund Abstract This thesis handles how record companies choose to market the talent/characteristics that an artist has. It is a qualitative study including six smaller cases. When studying the artist/groups it focuses on marketing, talent and brand building when releasing the first album. All the artists/groups used a planned out marketing approach, which means that they all had a strategic plan for how to run the marketing to get the best effect. To affect the customers record companies put together something called a marketing machine. Depending on whom the artist is, what kind of music he plays, his characteristics and his talent the machine is shaped differently. Different kind of communication channels like radio, live performances, and press are being used. It also includes how record companies are working to create brand names and value to its artists/groups. When doing that the first step is to establish a name for them. When the name is established value can be added to it trough peoples recognition. All our cases have had different ways to establish their brand name. Talent is a hard word to define, all individuals have their own definition of it. A common statement is that talent is something that diverges from the normal, in a positive way. In our cases the artists/groups have all had very different talent, all from writing good songs to having charisma. Record companies use their experience to create a good marketing machine for their artists/groups to become established and create value for them.

For a long time, most of the region was closed off to research, informations are scattered and fragmentary, and it was never approached as a whole. Due to the prevalance of oral tradition, little historical data are reliable. Moreover, all concepts do not fit the specificity of the Peninsula : as some scholars note it, here, the conventional distinction between "classical" and "popular" is little relevant, since some of the main musical forms lie somewhere between what is usually meant by these two words (JARGY 1986, 23).
