Australian Youth Orchestras' Role in Development of Young Musicians
Author: Morwenna Collett
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783838340678
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Anecdotal evidence has suggested substantial benefits for youth orchestra participants. While literature exists to support these claims in the USA context, this research was completed to ascertain whether similar advantages exist for youth orchestra members in Australia, aiming to identify these and investigate ways in which they aid the development of young musicians. Not only does the work of the Australian youth orchestra sector provide orchestral and ensemble training, which is vital to the future of Australia s music scene, but personal attributes and skills are nurtured and developed. With such a small percentage of music students gaining employment as professional performing musicians, it was important to establish non-musical rewards associated with youth musical ensembles participation as well. This study is comprised of three sections; a description of the current Australian music situation and outline of methodologies, literature survey and examination of youth orchestras in an Australian context, closing with a case study of the Queensland Youth Orchestra incorporating perspectives of performing members, alumni, conductors and administration.

Opening Doors: Orchestras, Opera Companies and Community Engagement
Author: Emily Dollman
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000902714
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
What is the role of classical music in the 21st century? How will classical musicians maintain their relevance and purpose? This book follows the working activities of professional orchestral musicians and opera singers as they move off stage into schools, community centres, prisons, libraries, and corporations, engaging with their communities in new, rich ways through education and community engagement programmes. Key examples of collaborative partnerships between orchestras, opera companies, schools and music services in the delivery of music education are investigated, with a focus on the UK’s Music Hub system. The impact of these partnerships is examined, both in terms of how they inspire and foster the next generation of musicians as well as the extent to which they broaden access to quality music education. Detailed case studies are provided on the impact of classical music education programmes on social cohesion, health and wellbeing, and the education outcomes for students from low socio-economic communities. The implications for the future training of classical musicians are analysed, as are the new career paths for orchestral musicians and composers straddling performance and education. Opening Doors: Orchestras, Opera Companies and Community Engagement investigates the ways in which the classical music industry is reinventing its sense of purpose, never a more important or urgent pursuit than in the present decade.

Ownership, Efficiency and Identity
Author: Stephen John Boyle
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Symphony orchestras
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
In 1932 the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) was created by an Act of Federal Parliament, with a charter to provide free-to-air radio broadcasting on a national scale. To provide musical content for their activities the organisation created a number of musical groups, ultimately leading to the creation of a network of six fulltime professional symphony orchestras. Between 1950 and 1996 the orchestras were structured as a government department but between 1997 and 2000 each was corporatised into individual corporate entities. -- This study explores the development of the Australian symphony orchestras with particular focus on the changes in organisational structure from the mid 1980s to the present. The fundamental inquiry is to explore how factors such as organisational structure and ownership have impacted on the orchestras' activities and the professional identity of the musicians, as they have made the transition from a government department to separate corporate entities. -- The general hypothesis proposed is that change in organisational structure will have a positive effect on the ability of the orchestras to achieve both cultural and economic objectives. This is empirically tested by capturing and analysing relevant data from the activities of the orchestras around the times of these changes and from surveying the views of those most affected by the changes - the musicians employed in the ensembles. -- Results show that, in the case of economic objectives such as revenue generation, the process has been moderately successful. The orchestras have also been successful in developing stronger links with their own communities and achieving some levels of artistic success. However in regard to increasing attendances and maintaining high artistic levels, the results are not so clear. In particular, the orchestras of the smaller States have had greater difficulty in maintaining their levels of operation under the new structure.
