Every day people come together to make music. Whether amateur or
professional, young or old, jazz enthusiasts or rock stars, what is
common to all of these musical groups is the potential to create
communities of musical practice (CoMP). Such communities are
created through practices: ways of engaging, rules, membership,
roles, identities and learning that is both shared through
collective musical endeavour and situated within certain
sociocultural contexts. Ailbhe Kenny investigates CoMP as a rich
model for community engagement, musical participation and
transformation in music education. This book is the first to
produce a valid and reliable in-depth study of music communities
using a community of practice (CoP) framework - in this case
focusing on the social process of musical learning. Employing case
study research within Ireland, three illustrations from particular
sociocultural, genre-specific, economic and geographical contexts
are examined: an adult amateur jazz ensemble, a youth choir, and an
online Irish traditional music web platform. Each case is analysed
as a distinct community and phenomenon offering sharpened
understandings of each sub-culture with specific findings presented
for each community.
