Repertoire, Performance, Implementation And Standardisation In Music For Formal Dance Performance On Cruise Ships, David Cashman
David Cashman
One of the many forms of musical performance aboard cruise ships is that accompanying formal dance, or “Strict Tempo Ballroom” performance. Formal dance is an important aspect of the traditional cruise ship tourism product, with links to the “glory days” of passenger shipping, media images that are used to create desire for cruise ship consumption. Such performance occurs using a compact version of a traditional big band at some stage on nearly every cruise ship. Repertoire ranges from standard 1930s big band hits to 1960s and 70s film music and 70s funk. The cruise industry realises formal dance music in …

Law00520 Philosophy Of Law, 3rd Edition, Anne Schillmoller
Anne Schillmoller
Philosophy, not jurisprudence Note that this is not a ‘jurisprudence’ unit. The reasons why will be discussed in detail in topic 1. Briefly, jurisprudence approaches questions about law from an ‘internal’ or ‘inside’ perspective, that is, one which seeks a conceptual basis for law from within law itself.This unit, however, aims to situate ideas about law and justice within a broader range of philosophical contexts. While traditional jurisprudence provides insights into particular theoretical movements within Anglo-Australian law, it fails to interrogatebroader philosophical frameworks or ‘external’ perspectives which inform thisjurisprudence. It is these broader frameworks which are the central concern of …
Exploring The Parent-Family Worker Relationship In Rural Family Support Services : "You Build A Relationship... And Before You Know It You Start Working On The Problems That You Have Got", Elizabeth Reimer
Elizabeth Reimer
Building working relationships with families where child neglect is an issue is well known to be challenging, due to problems in engaging and retaining families and preventing worker feelings of helplessness and hoplessness. Despite this, some professionals achieve successful and effective relationships with such families. This study uses an interpretivist research methodology, principally drawing on hermeneutics and qualitative methods, to explore perceptions of parent-family worker relationships in a sample of regional family support services in New South Wales, Australia.

Michael Francis Hannan
In this paper I propose to talk about the present and future of tertiary music training. The focus will be on the tertiary sector in Australia, and on vocational training for musicians. To begin I would like to briefly describe my own involvement in this field as a way of putting my attitudes and observations into some context. In 1986 I was appointed to the Northern Rivers College of Advanced Education (now Southern Cross University) to develop a program in contemporary popular music in response to the needs of the popular music industry in Australia. I�m still doing this job. …
