Transformative engagement with community music-making for older adults
Music has impact on cognition, emotions, sense of self, the body, and social interaction. Through these multiple effects, engagement with music-making can bring positive change, with transformative potential. For older adults, documented experiences of positive change in published studies fall into broad areas of self-perception, quality of life, and personal growth. Yet in these same studies, there is no accepted definition of the experience of …
Musical Spaces in the Asylum in Watt Street, Newcastle, New South Wales
The Asylum in Watt Street, Newcastle, New South Wales, was opened in 1871 for the care of 'idiots and imbeciles', and from 1872 was considered a model of moral therapy. Music was a key aspect of the therapy approach, which took place both inside and outside the asylum buildings.

Adela and transformative learning
In what ways can a community music education project based on historical re-enactment be a vehicle for transformational learning, empowerment and reconnection with community? In 2018, Serenading Adela was performed to celebrate and remember the 100th anniversary of a moment in history when women sang under the prison cell window of Adela Pankhurst, an anti-conscriptionist. The operatic work, which recruited 100 adult participants, was conceived a…
What are the affordances of the digital music space in alternative education? A reflection on an exploratory music outreach project in rural Australia
In Australia, access to music education is inequitable due to the challenges of distance, different state education systems and a lack of resources in schools. As a means to address this social justice issue, we explore here the viability and effects of a digitally based music outreach programme undertaken in collaboration with Hands on Learning (HOL), an alternative education provider. The programme was delivered over 6 weeks using GarageBand to…
Music for good
This study investigates a large-scale community project that called for a long preparation period and involved over a hundred participants. The researchers were interested in the contributory factors that led participants and leaders to commit and persevere with the project, for which there were almost two years of planning and five months of rehearsals. The project related a suppressed wartime history and had re-enactment aspects. Interpretative…
Blackface at Work and Play
Following the first performances of the Virginia Minstrels in 1843, the minstrel show and its music were adopted across the Anglophone world. The Virginia Minstrels toured England in the year of their US debut, generating numerous imitators. American and British minstrel groups toured to the Australian colonies from 1850. In their wake, amateur minstrelsy emerged in private and public spheres. Although the touring groups, their musical content, a…
Music and world-building in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
This article investigates the perceived benefits of music community membership within a historical framework of music making in the same geographical locations. Research was carried out in the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley regions of New South Wales. These regions were selected because of their connection with ongoing historical research on the role of music in world-building for these communities in the early settler period. Coalmi…
Music-making in the Colonial City
This paper looks at the role of 'miscellany' in concert programmes. In The Great Transformation of Musical Taste , William Weber identifies the use of miscellany as an inclusive organizing principle for eighteenth-century European concert programmes. He goes on to discuss the shift that took place in the nineteenth century to more homogeneous and exclusive programmes. This paper investigates the ways in which the miscellany principle might be obs…
