The Conference Welcome to the Conference I am delighted to welcome you to the 4th international Reflective Conservatoire Conference: Creativity and Changing Cultures, hosted by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in partnership with the European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), Arts and Humanities in Higher Education, ASIMUT software, Cause4, the Centre of Excellence in Music Performance Education (CEMPE), the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM), the Institute of Musical Research (IMR), the Society for Education, Music & Psychology Research (SEMPRE), The Culture Capital Exchange (TCCE) and Conservatoires UK (CUK). The programme is packed with what promises to be inspiring and thought-provoking sessions which we hope will lead and define a paradigm-shift in conservatoire cultures. Our themes are: Creativity, Playfulness and Improvisation; Interdisciplinary Connections; The World in 2020 and Beyond; and Viewpoints on the Developing Artist. We hope to stimulate debate on how reflective conservatoires can bring about change and innovation to established creative practice as well as preparing students for a professional world with open-ended possibilities. The keynote presentations will focus on reflection on creative processes in both music education and in the making of artistic work, with Ricardo Castro talking on Brazil’s NEOJIBA youth music training programme and Liz Lerman on the Critical Response Process, a feedback system for developing work in progress. The opening keynote, ‘The artist as maker - current issues and future prospects’ will draw on perspectives from across the performing arts, open up fundamental questions about artistic freedom and creativity, and provoke debate. I hope that you find much to discuss, debate and reflect upon over the next few days and that you take advantage of the many social opportunities to forge new professional ties and friendships with fellow conference participants from the global conservatoire community. Finally, I would like to thank all of the presenters for their contributions to the conference. Professor Barry Ife CBE FKC FBbk HonFRAM FRCM Principal, Guildhall School of Music & Drama Conference Chair 1 2 Research at the Guildhall School Research at the Guildhall School is an important element in a dynamic culture of artistic excellence and innovation across music, drama and technical theatre. Through research, staff and students experiment with creative processes in making and performing, and explore fundamental questions relating to the development and impact of our artistic and professional practice in society. Undertaking systematic enquiry into and through the arts plays an increasingly prominent role in promoting artistic depth and stimulating originality, and in enabling artists to make a difference in the world. In recent years, research strands have emerged around the themes of: Understanding Audiences, Words becoming Music and The Creative Stage. Through these themes and through thinking about the role of research in the conservatoire, researchers have sought to address some of the following questions: What repertoire should we create and perform, and how should we perform it? What is and will be the role of the performing arts in society and how can we help to shape their future? What roles do creativity and originality play in shaping artists of the future? How do performers learn and prepare for professional life? How can teachers in the conservatoire best evolve their practice and engage with research? Research takes place at all levels in the School, from students' guided study at undergraduate level to post-graduate doctoral work supported by research active staff. Seed funding for staff is available to encourage experimental new projects or those new to research, and more established researchers within the School have formed partnerships with artistic institutions such as the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Opera House and English Touring Opera to create productive synergies between professional artistic practice and our research expertise.

Abstract This thesis describes an action research project undertaken within a mass participation instrumental music programme situated in East London. This action research project aimed to improve the way in which instrumental music pupils are assessed through the use of the graded examination. It also intended to provide opportunities to gain social and cultural capital for children in East London that are available in more affluent areas of the United Kingdom. The action research methodology was employed over three cycles of research. The research involved six instrumental music teachers, including myself, as an active participant. Data was collected through focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic and narrative analysis. Amongst the main findings of this thesis are the following: The current graded examination is unsuitable and inaccessible to children learning to play musical instruments in a group learning context.

  • LMM Commissions Press Release Updated
    London Music Masters presents world premieres of Gavin Higgins’ Tänze on 23 October and Edmund Finnis’ Shades Lengthen on 10 December as part of LMM’s 2015 commission series Friday 23 October 2015 Thursday 10 December 2015 6pm St. John’s, Hackney Royal Festival Hall Tänze Shades Lengthen (world premiere) (world premiere) Gavin Higgins composer Edmund Finnis composer LMM Learning students Benjamin Beilman violin (LMM London Philharmonic Award Holder) Orchestra London Contemporary Orchestra London Music Masters hosts world premieres of two new works by leading British composers Gavin Higgins on 23 October, and Edmund Finnis on 10 December as part of LMM’s 2015 series of commissions. Higgins’ dance suite Tänze will be performed by 70 of London Music Masters Learning students aged 9-11 and the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. This free event precedes pianist and LMM Ambassador Benjamin Grosvenor’s concert with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, performing Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, marking his first time performing with them in London. Higgins’ large scale, innovative new work will explore the history of dance music from the Baroque period to the present day. Higgins explains: “Tänze is a new work inspired by the Baroque dance suite. As such the piece is made up of the four dances most commonly utilised; Allemande, Courante, Sarabande and a lively Gigue. Dance music has always been very important to me and I’ve been wanting to write a ‘dance suite’ for some time now. When I was approached by LMM to write this piece I felt this was the opportunity to do just that.

Ruoff, Chair Laura Robson Jennifer Tappan Portland State University 2019 © 2019 Jeff Braytenbah Abstract Japan’s colonial activities on the island of Hokkaido were instrumental to the creation of modern Japanese national identity. Within this construction, the indigenous Ainu people came to be seen in dialectical opposition to the 'modern' and 'civilized' identity that Japanese colonial actors fashioned for themselves. This process was articulated through travel literature, ethnographic portraiture, and discourse in scientific racism which racialized perceived divisions between the Ainu and Japanese and contributed to the unmaking of the Ainu homeland: Ainu Mosir.

Media Les Sacqueboutiers ensemble de cuivres anciens de Toulouse Artistic Direction : Jean-Pierre Canihac et Daniel Lassalle Les Sacqueboutiers, an ensemble based in Toulouse, playing on early brass instruments have been in existence for nearly four decades during which time they have built up a reputation as one of the finest early music ensembles on the international scene. Regarded by specialists and the public alike as a reference in the interpretation of seventeenth-century instrumental music, particularly that of Italy and Germany, the ensemble has reaped the highest awards for its recordings. When they decided to form Les Sacqueboutiers in 1976, Jean-Pierre Canihac and Jean-Pierre Mathieu were among the first to embark on the adventurous rediscovery of early instruments. The quality of their work soon attracted attention, and they took part in the groundbreaking recording of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, conducted by Michel Corboz. Since then, they have per-formed music ranging from the Renaissance to Mozart, with many prestigious ensembles including Les Arts Florissants (William Christie), La Chapelle Royale (Philippe Herreweghe), A Sei Voci (Bernard Fabre-Garrus), Elyma (Gabriel Garrido), La Grande Ecurie et la Chambre du Roy (Jean-Claude Malgoire), the Clément Janequin Ensemble (Dominique Visse)..
