Considerations are brought to bear from both music psychotherapy approaches, and in the technological (AI) possibilities for applied community music practice. Abstract This article aims to approach the undergraduate module of \"Music in the Community\" within a Greek university context and critically discuss the outcomes derived from it from the student and instructor's point of view. It also attempts to approach it while reflecting on both authors' experiences working with community music in the UK. Finally, it aims to propose future focus areas for this module, taught within the Greek framework. Both co-writers will describe and systematically analyse their experience of being involved in the academic module of Community Music in Greece from the instructor and student's points of view, respectively. Through their reflexive ethnographies deriving from what has arisen from fieldwork, they will attempt to determine the shift of relationship dynamics that have happened through music participation from a qualitative research prism: between the community working with and between themselves. Additionally, both authors share a background working in the UK as community musicians. Therefore, they will examine how a British Community Music approach challenges the Greek context of studying Musicology, especially within a mostly theoretical Integrated Master's degree at the University of Athens. Finally, the data used for this research will be extracted from writers' reflections and interviews with service users, examined with narrative analysis and summarised to conclude the findings. Interdisciplinary implications. Authors agree that a curriculum transformation is needed to shift the university's social responsibility (Harrop-Allin 2017) as more institutions raise awareness around the issue. Moreover, the authors reflect on the challenges of researching while coming from contrasting academic positions. In conclusion, the article approaches the future work necessary to be done concerning the different levels of reflection (Broeske-Danielsen 2013) upon the participants' and instructors' musical experiences","PeriodicalId":91671,"journal":{"name":"CIM14, Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology : proceedings.

This paper analyzes the vocal experiences of female sopranos singing in chapel choirs in Oxford and Cambridge Universities (Oxbridge). I discuss vocal tension and the wide discrepancy between technique learned in voice lessons and technique implemented in choir within the fields of vocal pedagogy and empirical performance. These ‘solo’ and ‘choral’ voices are discussed within the context of the laryngeal development of 18-21 year old women within the Oxbridge chapel choir tradition (Caldretti 2017; Goodwin 1980; Olson 2010; Sweet and Parker 2019). Disciplinary background B. The second disciplinary area relates these pedagogical and health concerns to their philosophical counterparts in voice studies. Boy trebles have sung the top line in the Oxbridge chapel choir tradition throughout its history only to be disrupted in the 1970s by the addition of women to the top line in some choirs (Day 2018, 229). I analyze this phenomenon within the context of philosophical arguments surrounding female voice (Cavarero 2005; Dunn and Jones 1994; Lochhead 2009), and current voice studies theories about performed timbre (Eidsheim 2019) through the lens of the Derridean term, hauntology (Harper 2009). Abstract I theorize that the voice of the female soprano in these choirs is directly influenced by the presence of the ideal and institutionalized boy treble voice, perpetuated by conductors, voice teachers and the sopranos themselves. These three participants together produce a voice which creates both physical and symbolic tension for the sopranos through a hauntological effect. Through an online questionnaire distributed to sopranos, conductors and voice teachers of Oxbridge chapel choirs, I analyzed their responses as three participatory stakeholders in the dynamic production of voice in chapel choirs. I focused on participant observation and the interaction of technical concerns communicated between participants. The responses describing sound preference clearly outlined a distinction between a solo/female (solid, full, expressive, and colorful) and choral/male (weightless, pure, aloof and clear) vocal stereotypes as reflected in historical associations of feminine emotionality and masculine reason (Lochhead 2009). I suggest that both the recent incorporation of female sopranos into this static tradition and the gendered associations with voice perpetuated by","PeriodicalId":91671,"journal":{"name":"CIM14, Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology : proceedings.

Musicology focused on the documentation of music theatre works to facilitate their study and preservation. The traditional methods of musicology are not enough for the preservation of music theatre, as such works are interdisciplinary in themselves involving different artistic expressions such as music, theatre and dance, also including diverse media such as electronic components. Disciplinary background B. Archival science centered on the description of events involving performance using archival standards. Archiving performative practices as music theatre remains problematic for archives, to accomplish this task, archivists must know these works and understand their collaborations, idiosyncratic language and notation, as well as their performative features. Abstract The presevation of music theatre works in archival contexts requires: to examine the in/external relationships and the mutual interactions incorporated into the works in agreement with the context of their creation/production; to provide the means and tools for facilitating the recreation of music theatre works in more historically informed approaches.; to focus on relevant theoretical writings analysing the social contexts in which music theatre works were created and study the documentation, gathering, mapping, documenting and safeguarding the collaborative practices, describing interactions, interventions and interpretations of creators, performers and other contributors involved in performances; to broaden discussions about issues relating to the preservation of creations in the field of the performing arts in (digital) archives, in which artists build their own archives.","PeriodicalId":91671,"journal":{"name":"CIM14, Conference on Interdisciplinary Musicology : proceedings.

The theoretical framework of the research drew on Gibson’s (1979) ecological psychology and concept of affordances, considering the role of technology and music as social affordances. The distributed and inherently social nature of music and dance (Linson & Clarke, 2021; van der Schyff, Shiavio, Walton, Verlado, & Chemero, 2018) and online creative participation (Literat & Glăveanu, 2018) was considered, drawing on ecological perspectives from the fields of human-computer interaction (Norman, 2013), music (DeNora, 2009; Duby, 2019; Krueger, 2014; Magnusson, 2010; Martinez & Villanueva, 2018) and creativity studies (Glăveanu, 2012). Disciplinary background B. Participatory Action Research. The work took the form of a participatory action research (PAR) project, exploring the creation of a virtual music and dance performance in ashra baladi, an Egyptian improvisational form of dance and music by six experienced arts practitioners. Participatory action research centres local knowledge and needs, aiming to involve members of the community in the research project and create social change in the process (Brydon-Miller, 1997; Lykes, 2013; Smith, Rosenzweig, & Schmidt, 2010). During COVID-19 lockdown, arts practitioners were required to adjust rapidly to changing circumstances to maintain their livelihood, and this research investigated this process. As community-based arts practitioners, the researchers further investigated how virtual improvisation might be applied for social connection in larger culturally diverse settings.

MacDonald","doi":"10.2218/cim22.1a9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2218/cim22.1a9","url":null,"abstract":"This presentation offers cross-diciplinary reflections from a live music experience. The situation of conference participants as active music listeners in a live music event provides the basis discussion of approaches to music listening, highlighting subjective and varying music listening experiences and perspectives. The presentation outlines a new approach to music listening in hospitals categorized as music medicine. Music medicine is the professional use of music and sound to aid individuals with the purpose of regulation. At Aalborg University Hospital an app called the MusicStar is used in psychiatric patient care aiming at reducing anxiety, improving relaxation and as a sleep aid. A clinical trial has investigated the efficacy of music listening at bedtime on sleep quality, depression and quality of life in adults with depression related insomnia. The findings pointed to improved sleep quality and improved quality of life. In addition, an interview study reported participants experiences of music listening using the MusicStar app. The study highlights preference and technology as parameters with impact on music listening. Studies were part of a Ph.D. dissertation and results are published. The dynamics of participation, including the music listeners interaction with the music is key to influences of music for the individual. The project integrates psychological theory with music therapy perspectives, music perception and music technology. Hereby, the authors wish to broaden the understanding of fundamental listening processes that lie at the heart of music medicine and the use of music for sleep, relaxation and wellbeing. The presentation briefly presents results from the clinical trial involving patients listening to this new technology, and highlights the integration of clinical, psychological, musicological and technological perspectives in an understanding of subjective music listening experiences – from live improvisations to curated playlists at bedtime.
