Five billion songs, and counting, have been downloaded (completely legally) through Apple Computer’s online iTunes Store. The iTunes University links free educational content from over seventy tertiary institutions worldwide, and is now available to New Zealand tertiary institutions. The Internet has revolutionised the delivery and access of media and education – making access to a worldwide audience or market merely a Google (or iTunes Store) search away! But, what are the real-world practicalities of this for contemporary music students and teachers today? How can these tools be utilised to facilitate personalised learning environments. Within this context, this chapter presents and evaluates a mobile learning case study at Unitec in the Diploma of Contemporary Music on the Waitakere campus.

Music students, their teachers, composers, and school communities experience deep, long-lasting growth in music-making and artistic perspective when provided with opportunities to engage in the commissioning of new musical works in conjunction with composer residencies. Through consideration of relevant literature and case-study examination, the article defines and articulates possible formats for commissioned works projects with composer residencies. A discussion of the beneficial outcomes of such projects for student musicians, music educators, composers, and constituent communities addresses reasons for coordinating projects of this nature. The article concludes with a step-by-step guide that lays out how educators can organize a commissioned work and composer residency project for their students that is appropriate for their specific educational context.

his study explores the utility of employing a student-created experiential narrative ePortfolio as a multimodal tool for reflective practice in WIL. It does so by examining a case study situated within the performing arts, where WIL discourses are rarely adopted, and few examples are present in the literature. This paper introduces a circular mentoring framework that extends Kolb’s experiential learning model, whereby learning is facilitated through the interchange of roles through rehearsal and reflection. In this study, participants prepared and performed an opera in a professional venue over a five-day period of intense creative studio work. The 2017 and 2018 Inclusion Project is an innovative teaching and learning opportunity that offered authentic industry-based experience to undergraduate music students in a closely monitored, non-placement WIL setting. Participants (n=18) undertaking a semester long elective, reported their experience through online journaling in an ePortfolio allowing them to create narrative responses. A qualitative analysis using narrative inquiry on the ePortfolio reflections indicated a direct benefit for student’s career readiness as creative artists.

ResumoO presente trabalho apresenta uma investigação sobre o processo de escuta musical em smartphones. Tem como foco alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Música e visa compreender como estudantes de música realizam suas escutas musicais por meio de smartphones. A pesquisa é um desdobramento e ao mesmo tempo aprofundamento de questões abordadas em outra pesquisa, desenvolvida por meio do Programa de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC), que fez um levantamento mais amplo sobre tal processo. Desta vez, no entanto, realiza-se um estudo de casos, buscando responder a questões referentes às funções da escuta musical em smartphones e a relação da escuta musical com a formação recebida no curso de licenciatura. A investigação foi realizada com três alunos do Curso de Licenciatura em Música da Universidade do Estado do Pará e para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se as entrevistas semiestruturadas, que após sua conclusão, foram todas devidamente transcritas e analisadas. A pesquisa encontra-se concluída.AbstractThis paper presents an investigation about the process of listening to music on smartphones. It focuses on students of the Licenciatura Course in Music and aims to understand how music students perform their listening through smartphones. The research is an unfolding and at the same time deepening of issues addressed in another research, developed through the Program of Scientific Initiation (PIBIC), which made a broader survey on this process. This time, however, a case study is conducted, seeking to answer questions related to the functions of listening to music on smartphones and the relationship of listening to music with the training received in the undergraduate course. The research was carried out with three students of the Licentiate Course in Music of the State University of Pará and for the collection of the data the semistructured interviews were used, which, after their conclusion, were all properly transcribed and analyzed. The search is complete.
