The Musical Chairs Framework for Understanding New Audiences and Innovative Practice: An Analysis from the Perspective of the Conductor
No full textThis article introduces the Musical Chairs Framework, a strategic tool designed to help artists position their practice along the spectrum of traditional to innovative approaches and across familiar to new audiences. Drawing from the author’s dual background as a conductor and former strategy and management consultant, as well as building on a Master’s thesis exploring innovative conducting formats, the framework is situated within the context of the New Audiences and Innovative Practice (NAIP) program. It offers a quadrant-based model to support reflective decision-making when reorienting artistic practice, especially in fields like conducting that have strong connections within conservatory traditions. The article explores the historical and evolving roles of the conductor, examines how innovations in technology and audience engagement reshape performance formats, and applies the framework through examples ranging from orthodox symphonic concerts to experimental music with a sonified conducting baton. The article argues for the importance of dynamic positioning in artistic practice, suggesting that artistic renewal, explorations for new audiences and innovation are critical for countering cultural stagnation and maintaining creative vitality
Rainbow Bop: Integrating a Multidisciplinary Industry Project within Tertiary Music Education
No full textAustralian tertiary music programs often incorporate elements of songwriting, production, music industry studies, cultural awareness, entrepreneurship, and creative practice. These programs aim to prepare students for portfolio careers that blend diverse aspects of music, including performance, recording, teaching, community work, and digital presence. In alignment with this approach, SAE University College emphasizes innovative, real-world learning, fostering an environment where students experience hands-on, feedback-oriented projects that reflect current industry trends and challenges.
This research showcases an innovative approach to music education through the “Rainbow Bop” YouTube series for children, where SAE Music students are engaged in a multidisciplinary industry project as part of their curriculum. Rainbow Bop is a 12-episode series designed for children ages 0-5, using music, puppetry, video, and animation to support educational pillars such as literacy, cultural awareness, numeracy, and social-emotional development. By integrating students into this project, SAE provides a unique experiential learning opportunity that allows them to apply and expand their skills in real-world contexts.
Students involved in Rainbow Bop gain practical experience across a range of professional activities, such as original songwriting, arranging, studio recording, working with specific briefs, social media content creation, and project management. This multidisciplinary, community-focused project encourages students to think beyond traditional popular music production. Through “Rainbow Bop,” students gain insight into how music is valued by different societal groups and the impact it can have on communities. This experience equips students with a broader understanding of the potential for their creative skills to serve various audience needs, enhancing their adaptability and expanding their capacity for innovation in their future music careers
