“…Research also demonstrates that access to musical experiences from a culture of origin can help migrants feel more at home in a new environment (Jäncke, 2008;Parncutt & Dorfer, 2011;Phelan, 2012). Music promotes intercultural contact in a way that is often more accessible than language, arouses curiosity and interest, and creates a social atmosphere.…”

Abstr Abstract actThis arts-based and ethnographic research comprises two video submissions; 'Elikya' and 'Irish World Music Café' as well as an accompanying paper exploring the potential contribution of live musical performance and video recording to sustainable social integration for new migrant communities. The research is anchored in an exploration of an initiative called The Irish World Music Café in Limerick city, Ireland. The café is a community-based event promoting social singing for new migrants and Limerick residents in the heart of the city. The paper discusses the growing body of evidence concerning the role played by music (particularly singing) in supporting sustainable social integration. It also presents two video-based projects: the first captures the live performances of the café with the second focusing on Elikya, a Congolese music group associated with the café. The paper also discusses the growing importance of video documentation in supporting and disseminating live performance events such as the café. Using Turino's categories of cultural formations and cultural cohorts (2008), it argues for the role of the café, both as a live event and a recorded phenomenon, in contributing to the development of alternative values and social change.

“…The study of music programmes for reconciliation draws on a number of areas including peace studies (Cabedo, 2015), social psychology and inter-group theory (Pettigrew, 1998), community music and sonic hospitality (Phelan, 2012), and music education as a tool for inclusion (Odena, 2014;2018). Specifically, some scholars in these fields explore ways to help create a positive understanding of peace that goes beyond a ceasefire, or agreements being signed by the parties to an armed conflict.…”

This article outlines the development of an appropriate research approach, including methods from diverse disciplines, for researching the Colombian state-funded social music programme Music for Reconciliation (Música para la Reconciliación). After outlining the Colombian context and the literature, a pilot with ten participants is discussed. Findings show the contributions of sound postcards as part of life histories for capturing the experiences of displaced people in a country recovering from war. Their evocative capacity enriched the interviewees’ narrative, illustrating diverse sonorous landscapes throughout their lives that evidenced the changes generated by both the violence and programme participation. The conclusions offer suggestions for readers based in the arts, health, social sciences and beyond, interested in the uses of music and music education for other-than-musical purposes.

“…They also sang songs from "Sister Act" and Irish ballads. Phelan (2012) states: "Repertoire provided the currency of exchange, with culture bearers from diverse communities offering their expertise and knowledge to the group" (p. 173). Doing so proved to be highly effective for these women.…”

Abstract. This paper proposes that educative and ethical music making and teaching, which is based on a praxial philosophy of music education (Elliott and Silverman, 2014), can be carried out in a variety of ways that create places and spaces, in schools and community settings, for a variety of human values or "goods" that include, but go beyond, making and listening to classical instrumental music, or any other kind of music, for "the music itself."One premise of this philosophical discussion is that music does not have one value; music has numerous values, depending on the ways in which it is conceived, used, and taught by people who engage in specific musical styles. For example, when music education is ethically guided-when we teach people not only in and about music, but also through music-we achieve what Aristotle and many other philosophers consider the highest human value-eudaimonia-which is a multidimensional term we explain the body of this paper.Following an examination of three community music settings that exemplify educative and ethical musical interactions, the paper provides a brief explanation of the nature of personhood that draws from embodied, enactive, empathetic, and ecological concepts put forth by several contemporary cognitive scientists and philosophers of mind nature. This sections leads to an examination to main constituents of eudaimonia: happiness and wellbeing as conceived by various scholars during the last 2500 years.The discussion ends by integrated the above themes with a discussion of a praxial philosophy of music education and its implications for school and community music education.
