SUMMARY:ANZARME (Australian & New Zealand Association for Research In Music Education)
DESCRIPTION:As you are aware\, COVID-19 has had a dramatic impact and forced the cancellation of many face to face events. The ANZARME committee held off making a final decision on the viability of our 2020 Gold Coast Conference as long as possible\, and concluded that it is just not possible to proceed at this time. While we are disappointed that we cannot go ahead as originally planned\, we are excited to announce that we will be going ahead with ANZARME 2020 as an online event. \nThe online conference will run over October 3 – 4 (in line with original conference dates) and we are grateful to The University of Melbourne for their kind offer of hosting the online conference. Prospective participants are invited to submit abstracts now\, and successful presenters will then be invited to create a 15 – 20 video of their presentation for uploading into the conference platform at least 2 weeks prior to the event. Presentations will then be available for viewing by conference delegates from this time. The conference will then comprise a series of themed online sessions over the two days October 3 – 4. Details as follows: \nWhat to do \nIf you are interested in presenting\, the call for abstracts is now open. Abstracts up to 250 words must be registered and submitted via the ANZARME website https://anzarme.com.au/ before August 21. Abstracts will be double blind peer reviewed\, and successful presenters will be notified as soon as possible. This process complies with current conference arrangements \nOnce accepted\, presenters will be asked to create a 15 – 20 minute video of their presentation and upload it via the link on the ANZARME website. A slide template will be available for presenters on the ANZARME website\, and videos can be in any format. Technical help will be available through the website\, and presentations must be uploaded by September 17 at the latest. \nAll wishing to access the online conference will be asked to register through the ANZARME website\, whether presenting or not. We are pleased to announce that the cost of the conference will only be $50 for delegates\, and $25 for students. \nFurther details on the actual online format will be forthcoming soon. At the moment\, a lot of work is going on behind the scenes finalising the technical arrangements and I am grateful to ANZARME committee members Dr Emily Wilson\, Dr Brad Merrick\, Martin Emo and Associate Professor Annie Mitchell for their work at relatively short notice to get this event up and running. The website is currently being updated and should reflect the above within the next two weeks. \nImportantly\, ANZARME 2020 will be going ahead. Please make sure you submit your abstracts as soon as possible if you interested in presenting in this exciting new format. \nI am also pleased to announce that ANZARME 2021 is planned for the Gold Coast\, and ANZARME 2022 for Invercargill in New Zealand. \nThank you for your patience and understanding\, and we look forward to welcoming you to ANZARME 2020 online. \nBest wishes \nDr Geoffrey M Lowe \nPresident\, ANZARME \nSenior Lecturer in Music Education \nEdith Cowan University

SUMMARY:Free music therapy webinar: Evaluating how a music therapy service is valued by its community
DESCRIPTION:In 2019 the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust was awarded a grant by the NZ Lottery Grants Board to commission an independent evaluation of its services. The evaluation was designed to identify the values and impacts that RMTT services have for its clients\, families and outreach partner organisations\, and the factors that support and challenge participation in RMTT services. \nIn this webinar\, Adrian Field from evaluation company Dovetail and Jen Ryckaert from Raukatauri discuss the process of the evaluation and its findings. They will share reflections and learnings for both Raukatauri and the wider music therapy profession in Aotearoa New Zealand\, particularly around public understanding of music therapy and the value of relationships within music therapy and the wider disability community. \nJen Ryckaert is the Clinical and Centre Director of the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre\, and a practising Registered Music Therapist. During her time as Director\, Raukatauri has realised unprecedented growth and currently serves over 500 clients across the lifespan each week in Auckland\, Northland and Hawke’s Bay. Jen originally joined the Raukatauri team in 2015\, following work as the Music Therapy Clinic Manager and Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor of Music Therapy at Nazareth College in Rochester\, New York. Jen enjoys being a part of the larger music therapy community in New Zealand and currently serves on the NZ Music Therapy Registration Board. \nAdrian Field is the director of Dovetail\, an Auckland-based research and evaluation company. Adrian’s work helps organisations uncover the difference they are making\, and support positive change in communities and systems. Adrian was trained as a social science researcher and has been evaluating services and programmes for some 20 years. Adrian is an honorary academic at the School of Population Health (University of Auckland) and the national co-convenor of the Aotearoa-New Zealand Evaluation Association (ANZEA). \nRegistration closes on Monday 5th October\, at 5pm

SUMMARY:Free Music Therapy Webinar: Musicking and Cultural Identity
DESCRIPTION:Keeping Community in Mind: Musicking and Cultural Identity \nHave you ever seen a pipa or heard pipa music? The pipa is a four-stringed pear-shaped lute\, one of the oldest Chinese musical instruments with over 2000 years of history. Cici will share some of her pipa music and reflect on the relationship between music\, culture\, identity and wellbeing\, and invite you to experience a therapeutic sound-making journey. \nThe gayageum is a Korean traditional string instrument. Hyunah will introduce this instrument\, which is one of the geum family\, along with the zheng (China) and the koto (Japan). She will discuss the diasporic identity of Koreans in relation to gayageum performance\, with an understanding the meaning of gayageum music to Koreans in Dunedin. This presentation includes a gayageum demonstration. \nThe presentations will be followed by an opportunity for comments and questions. \nCici Kong was born in Dalian\, a beautiful Chinese coastal city where she started her musical journey when she was four\, singing in a children’s choir and later learning to play the pipa. She graduated with a Bachelor in Music Performance (Traditional Chinese Instruments) from Xiamen University of China in 2012. In 2013 and 2014\, she worked for the Confucius Institute at Victoria University of Wellington as a Mandarin language assistant\, offering Chinese language classes\, music workshops and music classes in schools and communities\, and performed in many quality events. Since 2018\, she has worked as a Registered Music Therapist\, after training at the New Zealand School of Music. Cici is passionate about helping children and adults to reach their potential and to build connections through positive music-making. She has worked with children with special needs at schools and adults with dementia and mental health issues in rest homes and daycare centres. Cici’s music therapy approach is person-centred and strengths-based. Cici loves the positivity when people and music come together\, and feels that she now has a better understanding of how to care for them with patience and compassion. \nHyunah Cho is a PhD candidate in music therapy research at the University of Otago. As a Korean Certificated Music Therapist (KCMT)\, she worked as a music therapist at a Korean psychiatric hospital and a Steiner school in South Korea before coming to New Zealand in 2016. Hyunah is interested in a holistic approach by understanding the cultural context of music therapy. As a New Zealand Registered Music Therapist\, Hyunah is providing music therapy sessions in Dunedin while finishing her thesis. \nRegistration closes on Sunday 18th October\, at 5pm
