Dr Bob Smith continues to conduct experiential workshops that provide inspirational opportunities for music education shared in Intercultural Communication, Asian, Oceanic and Indigenous Australasian music pedagogies, boys in education, and music as a vehicle for intercurricular support. His expertise as a curriculum writer is recognised in, for example, years in which he served as National Music Adviser to the Fiji Ministry of Education, as a curriculum writer for the Inner London Education Authority and, more recently, in his work as international music education consultant in Fiji and Sri Lanka. There he reviewed national music curriculum and coordinated the development of new pre-service music teacher training program both for Fiji Primary School teachers and Sri Lanka's National Colleges of Education. Bob regularly contributes papers and articles to academic and educational journals including, here in Australia, 'The Australian Journal of Indigenous Education', 'The Australian Journal of Music Education', 'Sounds Australia', 'Research Studies in Music Education', and a number of Australian conference proceedings, in New Zealand 'Sound Ideas', and in the United States, the prestigious 'Arts Education Policy Review' , Washington, DC.  In August 2003 he travelled to Norway to share workshops there and elsewhere in areas related to intercultural music education. In July 2004 he was keynote presenter at the first Boys in Education Conference held at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand and in September 2005 at the Children in the Early Years Conference in Perth. In April 2007 he was key note presenter at the MENZA 'Making Music Matters' Conference in Wellington, Aotearoa-New Zealand. At the invitation of the local Access Asia team in Canberra he presented a workshop on Intercultural Music and Education there in October 2007.   Dr Bob's pro-active workshops are highly entertaining experiential and informative.
