Description
Summary:Community music as a field of practice, pedagogy and research has come of age. The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in practices, courses, programs and research in communities and classrooms, and within the organizations dedicated to the subject. The Oxford Handbook of Community Music gives an authoritative and comprehensive review of what has been achieved in the field to date and what might be expected in the future. This Handbook addresses community music through contexts, transformations, politics, intersections and education. It not only captures the vibrant, dynamic and divergent approaches that now characterize the field, but also charts the new and emerging contexts, practices, pedagogies and research approaches that will define it in the coming decades. The contributors to this Handbook outline community music's common values that center on social justice, human rights, cultural democracy, participation and hospitality from a range of different cultural contexts and perspectives. As such, The Oxford Handbook of Community Music provides a snapshot of what has become a truly global phenomenon.
