It identifies the need for teachers, practitioners and artists to jointly work together to create a community of practitioners where pedagogy meets practice. Through reflection and interview data of an artist in schools, a primary music specialist and a tertiary music educator, the ‘how’ and ‘why’ about teaching South African music and culture is discussed through pedagogy. Whilst this article discusses a particular culture and music, it has implications for education within a wider sphere and calls for further investigation when using different music from diverse cultures.  \nKey words: African Music, Artist in Schools, Multiculturalism, cultural diversity, South African Music  \nAustralian Journal of Music Education 2011:1, 42-56  \nSetting the scene: the Australian context  \nAlthough this article focuses on the insights of three South African voices on the teaching of African Music in Melbourne (Australia) it is necessary to provide a brief outline of the Australian context as all three voices perse are originally immigrants from South Africa arriving as early as the late 1980s to 2000 into Australia. As early as the 1850s, the ‘White Australia’policy can be traced favouring applicants from certain countries.“‘The White Australia’ policy described Australia’s approach to immigration from federation until the latter part of the 20th century”(Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship, 2011, p. 1) . According to Willoughby (2011, p. 1)“at the time of Federation, most Australians feared that the introduction of people from non-European  \nbackgrounds would threaten the security and unity of the new nation. They believed that Australia should be a nation of people of British descent and that an increase of the population was necessary for Australia’s survival”. Initially, more British immigration was allowed, nonetheless Northern Europe and to a lesser degree Southern Europeans were tolerated. Willoughby (2011) confirms“few Europeans sought to migrate to Australia before WorldWar One, but after the war, Southern Europeans as well as non-European migrants, were excluded from migrating to Australia”. It took 25 years for the abolition of this policy in 1973 by the then‘new Labor Government’. The Whitlam federal Labor Government “shifted from one aimed at integration of other cultures into the dominant Anglo-Celtic culture to one which supported multiculturalism”(Jakubowicz, 2011, p. 1) . At  \n42 2011, No. 1  \nthe state level in Victoria in 1982, the Cain Labor government implemented multicultural policies in the workplace, in education and in the community. To this day Australia prides itself on its great strengths of inclusivity and rich cultural diversity. The Commonwealth of Australia (2003b) maintains that “Australians have the right to be active and equal [participants...free](participants...free) to live their lives and maintain their cultural traditions”. They further acknowledge the unique contribution of the Australia’s Indigenous people and their culture making it a rich multicultural nation today.  \nAustralia continues to be a tapestry of diverse cultures and this embroidery of cultures weaves“shared knowledge and belief systems”(Mushi, 2004, p. 181) not necessarily changing meaning from any particular culture, but rather finding an educational mixture where opportunities for interchange can co-exist. As Australian society becomes increasingly multicultural, the demographics of classrooms changes and the pluralistic multiculturalism that now exists can contribute in its own unique way to the social enrichment of this country. As such, teachers need to adapt as well as adopt “","cbCairBM5voYmb8H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBM5voYmb8H","pdf",107798,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Setting the scene: the Australian context\n## Multiculturalism and immigration policy\n## Classroom diversity and educational implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the article?\",\"answer\":\"The article focuses on theoretical perspectives on multiculturalism and cultural diversity and on teaching and learning African music, particularly South African music.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article emphasize collaboration among educators and artists?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that teachers, practitioners, and artists should work together to form a community where pedagogy connects directly with practice.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Australian context support the article’s argument?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines Australia’s shift from policies such as the “White Australia” approach toward multiculturalism, and links this broader change to increasing classroom diversity and the need for more critical multicultural teaching approaches.\"}]","Cultural Diversity in Australia - promoting the Teaching and Learning of South African Music | PDF",1792079183,38]
