“…Scholars proposed the following curricular models that integrate praxis: performing repertoire studied in the course (Lalonde, 2017; Natvig, 2016; Seaton, 2010; Yang, 2012), songwriting in the popular music classroom (Stimeling and Katz, 2012), composing and improvising in the early music classroom (Grymes and Allemeier, 2014), and improvising and role-playing to teach forms and styles (Knyt, 2014). Yet, most of the proposed models are for the music history courses (for music majors), and the scholars have not discussed the integration of praxis in music appreciation courses (for non-majors) in-depth (Chenoweth, 2009/2010; Pierce, 2015; Roth, 2016). To contribute to the existing music appreciation literature on praxis, I hope to discuss the application of musicing in a music appreciation course, particularly for students who do not have much musical readiness in terms of knowledge and skills.…”

“…The concept of music as something people "do" (Elliot, 1995;Regelski, 2016;Small, 1998), the praxial approach, began to shift the direction of music appreciation (Chenoweth, 2009(Chenoweth, /2010Kivy, 1991;Kudlawiec, 2000;Maiello, 2013;Pierce, 2015;Regelski, 2006) from the 1990s onwards. In his article Music and the Liberal Education, the philosopher Peter Kivy (1991) asserts that teaching music appreciation in a similar way to that in which an English department would teach the nineteenth-century novel would result in three crucial mistakes: 1) treating music as a content art, not a ritualistic art; 2) treating music as a private art, not a community art; and 3) treating music as a passive art, not a participatory art.…”

A liberal arts education for Christians is about finding God’s truth; therefore, Christian students need to be educated in a broad range of subjects, including music. While a music appreciation course is thought to be about gaining knowledge of music, some music scholars have pointed out that a music curriculum should involve students in experiencing the essence of music through doing. This article discusses God’s invitation for us to music and the value of music in a liberal arts education. In addition, it looks at the integration of a praxial approach (referred to here as musicing) in a music appreciation course.

“…La música está vinculada a los sentidos y a las emociones que sobre ellos logra despertar, siendo un proceso muy perceptivo tanto para quien la produce como para quienes la disfrutan (Conejo, 2002;Pierce, 2015). Por ello, encontramos en su definición más formal de acuerdo con la Real Academia Española , que esta es: "melodía, ritmo y armonía, combinados"; "sucesión de sonidos modulados para recrear el oído"; "arte de combinar los sonidos de la voz humana o de los instrumentos, o de unos y otros a la vez, de suerte que produzcan deleite, conmoviendo la sensibilidad, ya sea alegre, ya tristemente".…”

“…Cuando se revisan los estudios y análisis que desde diferentes disciplinas se han realizado sobre la música, la mayoría coinciden en que es un elemento indispensable para el progreso de las sociedades y los individuos que las conforman (Huttunen, 2008;Pierce, 2015); es quizás su capacidad de transmitir y comunicar, lo que ha permitido a la música obtener un papel protagónico y una función social: "Es destacable la función social de la música como elemento de unión de la comunidad para reafirmar y relacionar sus experiencias, lo que le da significado y sentido a su experiencia cultural comunitaria" (Higuera, 2015: 21). Esta función social se evidencia en el acompañamiento que la música hace a distintas tareas cotidianas de los seres humanos y los efectos que sobre ellas se generan en los procesos de aprendizaje y formación (Olteţeanu, 2011;Gutiérrez-Martínez, 2016).…”

La Música es una de las expresiones culturales más importantes de los seres humanos, en tanto que manifestación intrínseca de su creatividad, emoción, sensibilidad y belleza. Además, la música no es solo una forma de manifestación humana, sino que permite la construcción de identidad en la medida en que los individuos se reconocen como parte de un contexto y una comunidad específica; de esta forma, la música puede tener implicaciones en la configuración social y cultural, a la par que efectos económicos en los territorios. El objetivo de este artículo de reflexión es plantear la música como una necesidad humana en base a cuatro dimensiones que la configura y contribuyen a la transformación socioecónomica de los territorios, estas son: Desarrollo Cognitivo, Valor Social y Cívico, Estética del Ser y el Auto-reconocimiento. Como complemento a estas reflexiones se incluyen algunos datos de la Encuesta de Consumo Cultural en Colombia, que evidencian el comportamiento de la población frente a las actividades musicales. En conclusión, la formación y la práctica musical son valiosos instrumentos de intervención que contribuyen a mejorar el bienestar de las comunidades.

Painting the Kitchen Tables: Exploring women's domestic creative spaces through publication design

The spaces women take up in society have been shrouded in shame, disenfranchisement, and contention, with the kitchen as a focal point of this argument. This article aims to suggest ways in which women can take up space in the kitchen, this integral pillar of society that upholds connection and creativity as an art form. Adjacent to this subversive shift of connotation is the shifts within feminism, as feminist perspectives on women within kitchens develop alongside the historical movement. In this project, the researcher has utilised a post-positivist paradigm under an auto-ethnographic methodology to document, analyse, and celebrate the variations within feminist perspectives on creativity within domestic spaces through textile and publication design. In order to shift perspectives on these domestic spaces, the design outcomes paid tribute to feminist artists who made the kitchen their studio and others who captured the kitchen as an artistic contribution to the feminist perspectives on these spaces. Through heuristic methods of testing, experimentation, and physical outputs, the researcher curated a series of design artefacts that distil the visceral experiences of how women take up space in kitchens. Through publication design, there is a documentation of the shifting feminist perspectives on women's domestic spaces through contrast and analysis of articles, poems, recipes, and artist insights. These contexts are supported by the tactility of the physical design outcome made using textile, pottery, and printed matter. The research distils and provides a destination for the celebration of ways in which women take up space within the kitchen and the integral artistic creations within those spaces.
