    Music as Labour

    (2022-01-01) Abfalter, Dagmar; Reitsamer, Rosa

    This book brings together research at the intersection of music, cultural industries, management, antiracist politics and gender studies to analyse music as labour, in particular highlighting social inequalities and activism. Providing insights into labour processes and practices, the authors investigate the changing role of manifold actors, institutions and technologies and the corresponding shifts in the valuation and evaluation of music achievements that have shaped the relationship between music, labour, the economy and politics. With research into a variety of geographic regions, chapters shed light on the various ways by which musicians’ work is performed, constructed and managed at different times and show that musicians’ working practices have been marked by precarity, insecurity and short-term contracts long before capitalism invited everybody to ‘be creative’. In doing so, they specifically examine the dynamics in music professions and educational institutions, as well as gatekeepers and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. With a specific emphasis on inequalities in the music industries, this book will be essential reading for scholars seeking to understand the collective actions and initiatives that foster participation, inclusion, diversity and fair pay amongst musicians and other workers.

    Basic Features of Inclusive Music Didactics – the Ensemble Ohrenklang as an example.

    (2023-01-01) Falschlunger, Christoph

    This article is not a detailed discussion or even can outline of inclusive music didactics, and it does not present a collection of methods that could serve as a reference work. The intention of this contribution is rather to select and present, perhaps in an unconventional way, five methodological-didactic aspects of artistic-pedagogical work in inclusive musicmaking groups with people with disabilities and to pose guiding questions that can be answered in such a way that conditions for successful inclusive music-making become clear. The elaboration of these conditions of success – I like to call them conditions of happiness – should encourage us to reflect on our own actions and practices and to remain in search of what makes us happy together.

    Music therapy in Austria. A national survey study on the professional situation of music therapists

    (2020-01-01) Phan Quoc, Eva; Riedl, Hannah; Smetana, Monika; Stegemann, Thomas

    In 2018, the Music Therapy Research Centre Vienna (WZMF) conducted a national survey of the professional situation of music therapists in Austria. Following a previous survey from 2011, this study aimed to provide current data and to illustrate changes in the professional field. Since 2009, music therapy in Austria has been regulated by the Music Therapy Act. All working music therapists must be registered and therefore constitute a homogeneous group, which enables systematic research in the field.An invitation to take part in an online survey was sent to all 405 music therapists who were registered in October 2018. The survey covered the music therapists’ current working situation including workplace, hours of work per week, fields of work as well as legal and financial issues.With a response rate of 73.8 % (299 people), the results offer representative data from 380 workplaces. In general, the findings show an increase in music therapy services, which are offered most frequently for children and adolescents with developmental or behavioural problems (22.5 %) and for adults with mental health problems (21.5 %).The high response rate means that the results provide representative data for the situa­tion of music therapists in Austria. Beyond that, this data may also be used as a reference to support professional development internationally

    Dancing Presence and Awareness: 'Khaita – Joyful Dances' as a Mindfulness Practice

    (2024-03-15) Leick, Eva

    In this article, I argue that the dance practice of ‘Khaita – Joyful Dances’ has been intentionally designed as a mindfulness practice with the aim of fostering presence and awareness by the Dzogchen master Namkhai Norbu. The three Khaita principles of awareness (Dems, Gyu and Drig) revolve around aspects of proprioception, smooth movements, musicality, spatial and group awareness and guide dancers to the here and now. They demand non-judgmental, purposeful and non-reactive attention, hence mindfulness, that results in more mature states of awareness and presence.
