Music Outreach
 Aerospace Blog (2012-2013)

 Orchestrating Reconciliation (2010-2012)

Ipswich Thistle Pipe Band Centennial History (2008-2009)

  Purga Music History (2003-2005); and Study of contemporary music in rural Ipswich (2006-2007)


The music projects are discussed to demonstrate the creative processes and theoretical reasoning used for:
  • Critical reflection on practice
  • Place-based planning
  • Continuous improvement and transformation of practice
  • Implementing Socio-ecological approaches 
The Ipswich music projects are used as examples that show how local people can organise culturally engaged community music that relates to their past music history, present performance culture, and future musical aspirations.

The practice frameworks are continually changing so the articles attempt to explain some of the specific ways in which projects were personalised for particular communities and environments. They give practical insight into the phases of people's cultural engagement in
community music.
