Special Needs, Community Music, and Adult Learning is one of five
paperback books derived from the foundational two-volume Oxford
Handbook of Music Education. Designed for music teachers, students,
and scholars of music education, as well as educational
administrators and policy makers, this fourth book in the set
focuses on issues and topics that help to broaden conceptions of
music and musical involvement, while recognizing that development
occurs through many forms. The first section addresses music
education for those with special abilities and special needs;
authors explore many of the pertinent issues that can promote or
hinder learners who share characteristics, and delve deep into what
it means to be musical. The second section of the volume addresses
music as a shared, community experience, and the diverse and
constantly evolving international practice of community music. The
chapters in the third section provide evidence that the process of
music education exists as a lifelong continuum that encompasses
informal, formal, and non-formal methods alike. The authors
encourage music educators to think in terms of a music learning
society, where adult education is not peripheral to the priority of
other age groups, but is instead fully integral to a vision for the
good of society. By developing sound pedagogical approaches that
are tailored to take account of all learners, the volume endeavors
to move from making individual adaptations towards designing
sensitive 'universal' solutions. Contributors Carlos R. Abril, Mary
