Oh Canada meets Scotland the Brave
First established in Scotland in the 1870s, civilian Scottish Pipe Bands are now a global intergenerational phenomenon. In Canada, they are a diasporic reminder of the 70,000 Scots who emigrated there in the 19th century. Currently, there are more SPBs per capita in Canada than any country outside of Scotland, with an estimated 240 civilian SPBs located from Nova Scotia to Vancouver. Because Canadian SBPs exist entirely in the community, teaching…
Questioning 20th Century Assumptions About 21st Century Music Practices
In this essay, I critique and critically reflect upon two questions derived from Action Ideal VIII of the MayDay Group: "We commit to understanding the wide range of possibilities and the limitations that technology and media offer music and music learning." Before we can address the "how," it is necessary to know the "why," which I offer here. This includes questioning dichotomies based on beliefs that either no longer hold true and/or are based…
A brave new world
The four perspectives in this paper were first presented as an interactive research/workshop symposium at RIME 9. The purpose of the symposium was to connect new media scholar Henry Jenkins's theory of 'participatory culture' (1992, 2006, 2009) to possible practices of 'participatory culture' in diverse music teaching and learning contexts. We ask: If participatory culture exists in music learning contexts - what is it? What are its dimensions? W…
Circles of learning
Early practitioners of mountain music in the Appalachia region of the United States shaped the music and its traditions in relative obscurity, which has largely vanished through commercialization and instant dissemination to any person with an Internet connection. Utilizing a qualitative multiple case study approach, researchers explored these issues with mountain music practitioners in the Appalachia region of Virginia and in online forums assoc…
Once the beat gets going it really grooves
The purpose of this ethnographic case study was to discover the manner in which two Irish musicians, Loretto Reid and Brian Taheny, taught/and or transmitted traditional music at the Celtic College Summer School in Goderich, Ontario. Two central questions, each followed by several sub-questions, served to focus the study: How did you learn Irish traditional music? and How do you teach Irish traditional music to adults? Several themes emerged from…
