Call for papers: Creativities, Musicalities, Entrepreneurships

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance is hosting its third biennial international conference, in partnership with the Art of Management and Organization. The event will take place at the Institute's London campus from 4th to 6th September 2014.

The discourse of artists as entrepreneurs has become commonplace in recent years, perhaps especially in higher education, but there is less discussion of entrepreneurs as artists. Notions of what it is to be musical are increasingly challenged by narrow notions of success and the rise of celebrity (Smith 2013). Writers such as Peter Cook in The Music of Business (2012), Richard Sennett (2012), Peter Gloor (2006) and Cartwright, Gillett & Smith (2014) have begun to expand the discourse between these intimately interconnected domains. The time is right to explore creativities, musicalities and entrepreneurships in a vibrant, collaborative environment.

The Institute's Research Committee invites proposals for spoken papers, performances, workshops, posters, and symposia from across business and the arts, on themes including, but not be limited to:

*       Notions of "creativities", "musicalities" and "entrepreneurships"
*       Careers in, around, and including the arts
*       Interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, diversity, and collaboration
*       Innovation, and digital media engagement.
*       Entrepreneurship and education
*       Conceptions and constructions of the creative in education

Scholars, graduate students, performance groups, artists, private-sector and social entrepreneurs are invited to submit proposals by the deadline of 8th April 2014. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 1st May 2014.

Keynote presenters include Pamela Burnard, Reader in Education and Bye Fellow of Homerton College, University of Cambridge. Other Keynote presenters, TBC, will speak on areas of entrepreneurship, music and creativity.

Following the conference, participants will be invited to submit full-length papers to be considered for inclusion in a special issue of peer-reviewed multi-media online journal Organizational Aesthetics, edited by Gareth Dylan Smith, the conference Chair.

Please submit abstracts via: https://instituteofcontemporarymusicperformance.submittable.com/submit

All submissions will be reviewed by two members of the review panel, comprising:
Dr Gareth Dylan Smith (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) Prof Helena Gaunt (Guildhall School of Music and Drama) Dr Jenna Ward (DeMontfort University) Dr Kimberly Campanello (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) Mark Hunter (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance) Tom Parkinson (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance)

Improvisation: Educational Perspectives

Improvisation: Educational Perspectives
22nd of April
St Cecilia's Hall
University of Edinburgh
(Admission free but booking essential)

http://bit.ly/improveducation

Improvisation is taught and formally assessed in higher education institutions (HEIs) throughout the world, yet there are a number of intrinsic difficulties in teaching and assessing improvisation that may impact on the pedagogical process.  This event is a one-day workshop that will give academics and practitioners working in this area the opportunity to share ideas, practices and methods specifically related to the teaching, learning and assessment of improvisation in higher education.

The sorts of questions and topics we expect to cover include:

• What is improvisation?
• Can improvisation be taught and, if so, how?
• What scope and range can/should HEI curricula include?
• Should improvisation be assessed?  If so, how do we do this effectively?
• Is assessor subjectivity an important concern?  If so, is this more or less problematic than in traditional 'recital' assessment?
• Idiomatic versus 'generic' issues in improvisation pedagogy.
• Assessing the process of improvisation rather than the outputs.

(NB Lunch and repfreshments will be provided so please be sure to inform us of any special requirements when you book)

Speakers:

Prof Raymond MacDonald (University of Edinburgh)

Improvisation and all that Jazz

Recent years have seen a significant increase in improvisation research and practice across many areas of academia.  This presentation will discuss a number of issues such as:  what is improvisation; can it be taught; how can it be assessed?

Dr Michael Duch

(Title TBC)

Dr Paul Kleiman (Higher Education Academy)

Taking a Note for a Walk: Improvising assessment and assessing improvisation

Of all arts-based forms, improvisation provides a particular challenge to assessment regimes based on normative pedagogic discourses and practices. This contribution explores some of those challenges and offers some creative approaches to assessing on the edge of chaos.

Dr Zack Moir (University of Edinburgh)

'Just like Clarence' or 'Just like Jimi': Issues surrounding creativity, originality and pedagogy in pop and rock improvisation.


This presentation will begin by considering the nature of improvisation in pop and rock music with particular focus on creativity and originality.  The pedagogical implications of such issues will then be discussed by way of understanding the teaching, learning and assessment of improvisation in this idiom.

Dr Philippa Derrington (Queen Margaret University)

Making connections through improvisation in music therapy.

What is the purpose of improvisation in music therapy? How do music therapists improvise? This presentation will look at ways that improvisation is used to engage clients in interactive live music-making and how therapists are trained.

Music Technology Education in the United States

Room: Committee Room 3

All are welcome

 

Over the past 25 years, as technology has become a ubiquitous part of the educational landscape, music educators have increasingly relied on it to be more effective and efficient in their teaching and performing. The development of music technology education in the United States has evolved through a complex and somewhat convoluted process. Educational leaders, select university programs, national music and education standards, accreditation regulations, and various financial forces have had a significant impact on curricular design and execution. In this presentation Dr. Phillips will show how these and other factors have shaped the educational landscape to create the current climate for music technology education in America. He will discuss his research of over 200 university and college programs in music technology, and suggest possible futures for this nascent academic field. 

 

Scott L. Phillips, Ph.D. is a prominent music technology educator and researcher. He frequently makes scholarly presentations, leads panels, and reads academic papers at top music, education, and technology conferences. Phillips is an Oxford University Press author and his book, Beyond Sound: The College and Career Guide in Music Technology (2013) is the definitive work on music technology college programs in the United States, containing the most comprehensive listing and analysis of college and university music technology programs currently available. He also serves on the advisory boards of several professional music organizations including the College Music Society, the Association for Technology in Music Instruction, and the Technology Institute for Music Educators. He is co-director of the Music Technology Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he teaches music technology courses, coordinates internships, and directs the highly regarded UAB Computer Music Ensemble. As a highly sought-after trainer, clinician, and consultant, he has represented major music technology companies and has worked with hundreds of audio professionals and educators throughout the United States.
