Anna Henwood gratefully acknowledges the support she received for her Doctor of Philosophy research at the University of Adelaide through the provision of an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship (RTPS) stipend. Anna’s thesis relates to the flute pedagogy and contribution of her teacher, Raymond Guiot, student of the flute teacher of the 1900s and writer of many flute books, Marcel Moyse. Anna has a rich musical, linguistic, and educational background, and her experiences in Australia and overseas have helped shape her strong intercultural and teaching skills. Anna accepted a full scholarship for Bachelor of Music (Performance) study at Flinders Street School of Music, offered to her following her year twelve results for Performance and Performance Special Study. It was after year twelve that Anna met Raymond Guiot in Rome and decided to one day return and study with him in Italy. After graduating with Honours in Performance at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, Anna completed a three-year course with Raymond Guiot at the Accademia italiana del flauto (Italian Flute Academy) in Rome, and was awarded a First Prize on examination. Anna is a registered classroom teacher with experience teaching in primary, secondary, and tertiary settings.
I qualified for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in 2024, and I was the first in the history of the Elder Conservatorium of Music to complete an oral examination (viva voce), a process that has not been widely used for doctoral examinations in Australia. My doctoral research examines flautists in Italy of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reforms to Higher Educational Institutions in Italy, and the re-discovery of Italian composers. The intercultural and intersemiotic nature of my research requires a high level of advanced language, music and education skills. Throughout my doctoral research, I had the pleasure to complete an Industry Partnership Project with the Dante Alighieri Society of South Australia, in which I performed and organized concerts of Australian and world premiere performances of music by twenty-first century composers featured in my doctoral thesis (for example, music by Guiot, Santucci, and Pelle). The partnership also included creating new curriculum in Italian, and leading a hybrid-online workshop for teachers of modern languages, exploring curriculum I wrote for the Department of Education Victoria and the Modern Languages Association of Victoria, published (2018) and available online at: https://arc.educationapps.vic.gov.au/learning/resource/99SZJH?fuse=1
