DESCRIPTION:Composing is often viewed as a solitary activity offering litt
 le opportunity for collaboration. Yet ensembles can provide varying opport
 unities for creative collaboration between composers and performers\, even
  a hierarchical and tradition-bound orchestra. While notation has been des
 cribed as a means of conceiving\, communicating and conserving musical mea
 nings and intentions\, the score may also be considered a collaborative to
 ol. This presentation draws on a larger study which explored learning that
  occurred for emerging composers through a five day workshop with a profes
 sional orchestra. I propose that learning to collaborate “in code” thr
 ough musical scores was a key facet of learning for these composers\, and 
 that all composition learners will benefit from thinking of instrumentalis
 ts working in cultural contexts\, rather than of instruments as mere sound
 -producers.\n\n*Bio*\n\nKarlin Love (B.A.\, B.Mus\, M.A.\, PhD) is a compo
 ser\, performer\, community music provocateur\, and teacher. She works for
  the University of Queensland\, Australia\, as a researcher on projects in
 vestigating advanced training for composers and orchestral performers. Hav
 ing performed in professional symphony orchestras\, chamber groups\, jazz 
 ensembles\, free improvisation groups\, and as a soloist\; and having comp
 osed for large and small forces in many styles\, Karlin brings a rich back
 ground to her teaching and research. She is challenged and intrigued by te
 nsions arising from the need to nurture genuine expertise and to encourage
  local\, creatively responsive music-making. Raised in the USA\, Karlin ha
 s lived in beautiful Tasmania\, Australia\, with her husband since 1989 wh
 ere they enjoy hiking\, camping\, and marvelling at their teenage son.
