Research Assistant Professor Robert Faulkner has been investigating children’s composing in the classroom and also peer teaching in a schools-based world music performance project. Associate Professor Peter Moore has spent many years conducting the West Australian Youth Orchestra and developing Babies Proms for the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, and researching training techniques. Winthrop Professor Jane Davidson, Assistant Professors Nicholas Bannan, Jonathan McIntosh and Robert Faulkner have run ensembles to examine the research-teaching and community service nexus.
