    CHRISTCHURCH COLLEGE OF EDUCATION LIBRARY A HISTORY OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND STATE PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS 1878-1989 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Susan P. Braatvedt B.A. (Natal), Dip.Arts (Auckland), B.A.Rons (Canterbury) VOLUME II University of Canterbury 2002 Chapter Five 1950-1968 266 The growth ofschool music Chapter Five 1950 -1968 The growth of school music "music is fmnly established as an integral part of the school curriculum."l 5.1 Introduction This 18-year period was dominated by the National Party except for one term when Labour was voted back into office from 1958? When the National Party took office in December 1949, they inherited an educational system in which school music had not been particularly well served. Robert Chapman comments: The underlying changes in the golden 1960s were social rather than political, technological rather than legislative, individual rather than public ....The tertiary education boom, television, and the contraceptive pill were transforming family and personal relationships as well as the method by which politics were perceived. Government expenditure underwrote the surging development of health and education ... 3 In chapter one section 1.2 it was pointed out that the influence of English music education endured for many years. It is in this period that we begin to see a development of a more innovative approach which was more eclectic in its character. 1 AE. Campbell, Director-General of Education, AJHR.

  • RARE Velocimetry of Shear Banded Flow in Cylindrical Couette Geometry
    RARE Velocimetry of Shear Banded Flow in Cylindrical Couette Geometry by Stefan Kuczera A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Abstract A flow phenomena called ‘shear banding’ is often observed for a certain class of complex fluids, namely wormlike micellar solutions. Wormlike micelles are elongated flexible self-assembly struc- tures formed by the aggregation of amphiphiles, which may entangle into a dynamic network above a certain concentration threshold. The entanglement results in the sample having both solid-like (elastic) and liquid-like (viscous) properties, an ambiguity commonly found in com- plex fluids. Under certain shear conditions, the flow couples with the structure of the micellar network, leading to the formation of (shear) bands with differing viscosity. The principle goal of this work is to address open questions regarding the temporal and spatial stability of shear banded flow. Shear banding is often studied in cylindrical Couette cells, where the fluid is sheared in a gap between differentially rotating concentric cylinders. For the sake of an accurate description of the flow in such a shear cell, the methodology for a 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) velocimetry technique (known as PGSE-RARE), which offers high temporal and spatial resolution, is improved and refined. Two main challenges are identified and overcome. The first concerns the fact that the velocity imaging process operates on a Cartesian grid, whereas the flow in the Couette cell is of cylindrical symmetry. Numerical calculations and NMR simulations based on the Bloch equations, as well as experimental evidence, give insight on the appropriate selection of the fluid volume over which velocity information is accumulated and the preferred scheme through which the NMR image is acquired in the so-called k-space.

  • Sustainable Economic Growth for New Zealand: an Optimistic Myth-Busting Perspective
    contributingpaper 1 Sustainable economic growth for New Zealand: An optimistic myth-busting perspective Sir Paul Callaghan 31 March 2011 This paper was prepared by Sir Paul Callaghan for the participants of the StrategyNZ: Mapping our Future workshop held in March 2011. Long-term vision is something we tend to avoid in New Zealand, with the possible exception of Måori, who have greater reason to focus on the development of their assets for future generations of mokopuna. But I will argue here that vision is essential to any strategy aimed at enhancing prosperity. It is my belief that we are poor because we choose to be poor, and that what holds us back are self-serving but dishonest myths. The first myth is that we are an egalitarian society, a great place to bring up children. But in income disparity, child mortality, imprisonment rates and most other negative social indicators, we are among the worst in the OECD. The second myth is that we are clean and green. In truth, the reality is altogether different. Like other developed countries we have despoiled our environment to eke out a measure of prosperity, and we therefore have no moral high ground from which to preach to others. Our valuable dairy industry severely impacts our rivers and lakes. Our pastoral industries are significant emitters of greenhouse gases. The third myth is that we, as New Zealanders, do not need prosperity, that we have ‘lifestyle’ instead. But we complain that our health system cannot afford to meet our needs and that our infrastructure is decrepit.

A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III English at Massey University [Palmerston North], New Zealand Susan Lillian Williams 2006 11 DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my grandfather and my mother, neither of whom had the privilege of gaining the education that they both so much deserved. I stand on their shoulders, just as my son, David, will stand on mine. The writing of this thesis, however, would not have been possible without the unstinting assistance of Ainslie Hewton. Finally, to my irreplaceable friend,Zeb, the puppy I wanted and never had as a child. Zeb nurtured me throughout this long project and then, in the last week of completion, was called by the black rabbit. Thank you for everything you taught me Zebedee. You and I will always be playing alongside your beloved riverbank. III ABSTRACT Drama has been the slowest of the arts to develop an authentic New Zealand 'voice.' This thesis focuses on the work of five playwrights: Bruce Mason, James K. Baxter, Mervyn Thompson, Renee and Robert Lord, all of whom have set out to identify such a 'voice' and in so doing have brought about a metamorphosis in the nature of New Zealand drama.

    BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times.

  • 2010 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2010 Academy Annual Report The 2010 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword In January 2010 the final act of “embracing the Humanities” within the Royal Society took place with the signing of an MOU between Te Whainga Aronui The Council for the Humanities and Te Apārangi the Royal Society of New Zealand. President Dr Garth Carnaby described this as landmark decision for both organisations. “For the first time there will be an organisation in New Zealand that promotes excellence in research and scholarship across all the disciplines and areas of knowledge.” The CV’s of the existing fellows of the Council for the Humanities were reviewed by the Academy Executive and these people were admitted to the Fellowship by a special resolution at the Fellow’s AGM. The Academy has continued to provide “information pieces” and forward- looking contributions on present and emerging debates that were introduced in 2009. In 2010, 2 information statements were prepared. Sea Level Rise: Emerging Issues recounted the significant changes in the scientific understanding of this issue since the 2007 Assessment Report by the IPCC. The Darfield Earthquake: The Value of Long-term Research was produced to document the research conducted in New Zealand over many years on how to construct and strengthen buildings to improve performance during large earthquakes. The application of this science and engineering undoubtedly played a big role in limiting the damage and injury caused by the 2010 Christchurch earthquake.
