Orchestrating Reconciliation Project
The 2009-2010 Music Health Australia service review led to the development of a new project which is aimed at investigating "How to orchestrate reconciliation - musically and socially?"
People interested in music and health are invited to participate in action research about how we can further reconciliation between Indigenous and other Australians through making music that is relevant to sustaining livelihoods, and reconnecting people with one another and natural environments. A Music Health Australia webpage is devoted to exploring ideas for Orchestrating Reconciliation.
Please contact us if you would like to be involved with this music and health study, or register your contact details online. Both practical and financial support will be required to achieve best results. We seek to Close the Gap through reducing the inequities in access to health care and forging pathways to music education for people who experience social disadvantage.
Music as Common Ground
In partnership with the Musicological Society of Australia-Queensland chapter, we are exploring the theme of COMMON GROUND - the places where our musical journeys intersect, even though we are from diverse backgrounds. MSA-Q is committed to providing support for a diverse range of approaches to music research and encouraging student involvement. Details of events are posted on MSA website (link below).

Musical Futures is a Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre initiative set up to support the outcomes of a five year international research project called 'Sustainable futures for music cultures: Towards an ecology of musical diversity'. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council and involves ten partners across Australia, Europe and the US, including the International Music Council founded by UNESCO in 1946. It aims to increase understanding of the mechanisms of musical sustainability by closely examining ten different music cultures: how musicians interact with communities, how the music industry and governments affect musical life, as well as underlying values and attitudes. It will deliver an online resource, freely accessible to everyone in the world, to assist in improving the chances of survival and success for music cultures.

Congratulations to Dr Kalaly Chu on her new book
 
Dr. Kalaly Chu (2009) Music and Visual Art: Their correspondences and a new perspective in exploring appreciation in education and in our life.
In this book, the arts are perceived from an interdisciplinary dimensions (music, visual art, media and psychology). Interdisciplinary study has been a significant strategy in teaching and learning nowadays. The inclusion of the arts is reflected in the curriculum in both primary and tertiary education. The major research problems in this book are: (1) What are the common elements in music and the visual arts? (2) Do people make correspondences between music and painting? (3) How do we define the role of music and its adaptability in linking with other expressive forms in contemporary education?
The entire book serves to redefine the value and uniqueness of the arts in the holistic development of an individual. The significance of this book lies in using a sensory perspective to explore the ‘multi-nature’ of the arts. Sensory qualities, such as brightness, intensity and line are used as vocabularies to interpret art perception. The facets in music and visual art are illustrated and analyzed by the artworks and compositions of the Impressionists, Expressionists and through mass media, Japanese animation etc. This book is available/can be purchased at www.amazon.com
ISBN-10: 3639123832 ISBN-13: 978-3639123838
