Youth and Children's Orchestras: Analysis of the Educational Experience and Some Reflections from the Field of Lifelong Guidance and Counseling
This article presents results of a study examining the experience of a group of socially vulnerable teenagers integrated into a socioeducational orchestra programme in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An ethnographic approach was applied to analyse the experience of 19 participants. The findings support the main assumption, that the experience of the orchestra programme promotes a better elaboration of future expectations and valued life paths. The findings also suggest the relevance of nonformal educational interventions to facilitate students’ career construction, including the promotion of decent work and a decent life.

Like a frog in a sock: The challenges and opportunities of Australian heavy metal vocalists learning to growl
The academic study of harsh vocals has been gaining traction of late, as the physiology (Eckers et al., 2009), creative attributes (Di Lorenzo and Trantino, 2016) and socio-political ramifications (Heesch, 2019) of usage have been covered in some depth by existing literature. However, formalised pedagogical study around the technique is somewhat lacking, as each vocalist has a unique path to the style and it is highly unlikely to be the result of formal training. In Australia this situation is exacerbated by the relative isolation of the individuals learning due to its small population, large geographic size and relative lack of popularity of heavy metal. This research involved interviewing five active harsh vocalists about their journey to learning and revealed that individuals were unlikely to engage in formal training and were more likely to experiment, seek access to information online and engage with strategies from other vocal styles in order to develop their own sound.

\The connection itself was the project\: Capstone experiences for emerging professional musicians through WIL. 'A practice report'
During their studies, musicians transition to work-readiness, develop a professional persona and graduate from skills acquisition in a traditional master-mentor relationship towards heterarchical collaboration in ensembles. Over the final year of an undergraduate program in performance, students, faculty/industry mentors and course coordinators worked collaboratively to implement a music work integrated learning (WIL) project, culminating in public performance as a capstone experience. This phenomenological case report outlines how a student group with diverse skills formed a complex adaptive system through inclusion, connection, support, and collaboration culminating in a final public performance and this practice report. Through this process, students obtained a broad range of graduate skills as well as professional musical competencies within a functioning heterarchy. In creative and performing arts, WIL can positively produce professional outcomes that appear indistinguishable from professional practice in the industry at large. This can be a model for transformative WIL in other disciplines. In addition, this research and practice report was prepared primarily by students with a faculty mentor, providing yet another set of graduate skills for musicians seeking portfolio careers in the arts.
