Content Descriptor

investigate the diversity of music composed and/or performed by First Nations Australians, considering culturally responsive approaches to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights

Elaborations

  • • exploring ways that First Nations Australian composers and/or performers communicate their ideas and messages across communities and cultures; for example, by asking questions such as “What are the impacts of this musician’s/these musicians’ music?” and “What music styles or genres is this musician drawing on in creating their own music?”
  • • investigating when, how and why copyright and/or Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights might be relevant to their practice as, for example, listeners, songwriters, composers and/or performers
  • • exploring how protocols for protecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights exist to help students make ethical choices about how they use music, as listeners or creators; for example, by asking questions such as, “Who wrote this music?”, “May I use ideas from this song, and do I need permission to do so?”
  • • investigating issues relating to the use of First Nations Australian languages or stories in lyrics and songs or music for screen-based works; for example, considering case studies that illustrate protocols relating to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights
