Technological Advances that Shape Practice Towards Better Teaching and Learning Experiences in the Study of Music
Arts and humanities educators have been urged in recent years to remain attentive to the political, economic, and ideological forces shaping their institutions, their work, and their students’ expectations. The arts landscape continues to face challenges such as global pandemics, online learning, and changing student populations. In continuing to be mindful and engage with teaching and learning as a collective, we must persevere and share both ou…
Intercultural dialogue and the mobilisation of aural skills
A model for incorporating diverse musical content into the core conservatory aural skills curriculum is presented.We position the contemporary conservatory as a solid institution providing Western musicians with a sense of stability and heritage in an age of anxiety (Bauman's 'liquid modernity').Despite these benefits, we argue that the conservatory education leaves graduates ill-equipped for the society in which they will build their careers.We …
The effects of cultural source sensitivity on music appreciation
Music appreciation is a complex process that involves responses to surface-level structure, personal associations, and source sensitivity.

Two hundred eighty-four participants…
World Music Open-earedness as a Possible Measure of Proteophilia and Connection to a Cultural Secure Base

I extend this into a reinterpretation of the result linking specific functions of music to adaptation, add…

This has particularly been the case in studies of Frédéric Chopin, where certain myths pertaining to that composer’s extramusical intentions have long dominated how his music was unpacked in musicological literature. In this article, I demonstrate that our understanding of later Polish comp…
