The role of this open access peer reviewed journal is twofold. Firstly, it provides a platform for the publication, and therefore for the development, of research within New Zealand in the fields of drama, music, and dance, as they relate to education in it widest sense. Secondly, it allows us in New Zealand to contribute to international dialogues in these fields. It therefore bodes well for the future of our journal that, as well as local contributions, we have two contributions from people who been early, and continuing, pioneers in the development of the scholarship of the arts in education. We hope in future issues to have many more.

Music Education in a New Key: The Dissonance of Competence, Connectedness, Culture and Curriculum

The worth of teaching and learning in music is again under scrutiny. Challenges to the canon of so-called western art music, the demands of all cultures to be heard musically as well as politically, the rise of music technologies, and the requirements of the soon to be implemented (2010) document The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 2007) present a mish-mash of constructs.

Acts of Hospitality
Volume 1
In this short paper, the authors raise two ideas: 1) the realization that the classroom is one of the last places where we can practice social literacy and 2) that drama enables opportunities for “social dreaming” in which social literacy skills may be practiced.
