Music for Life: Music Participation and Quality of Life of Senior
Citizens presents a fresh, new exploration of the impact of musical
experiences on the quality of life of senior citizens, and charts a
new direction in the facilitation of the musical lives of people of
all ages. Authors Fung and Lehmberg clearly define the issues
surrounding music education, music participation, quality of life,
and senior citizens, discussing the most relevant research from the
fields of music education, adult learning, lifelong learning,
gerontology, medicine, music therapy, and interdisciplinary
studies. At the heart of the book is Evergreen Town, a retirement
community in the southeastern U.S.A., that serves as the backdrop
for three original research studies. The first of these is in two
phases, a survey and a focus group interview, that examines the
histories and rationales for the music participations and
non-participations of community residents. The second and third
case studies take an in-depth look at a church choir and a
bluegrass group, two prominent musical groups in the community, and
include the perspectives of the authors themselves as group members
and participant-observers. Fung and Lehmberg conclude with a
challenge for the profession of music education: to act on this
research and on the current advances in the field, to enable all
people to benefit from the richness of music as a substantial
contributor to quality of life.
