The Musical Playground is a new and fascinating account of the
musical play of school-aged children. Based on fifteen years of
ethnomusicological field research in urban and rural school
playgrounds around the globe, Kathryn Marsh provides unique
insights into children's musical playground activities across a
comprehensive scope of social, cultural, and national contexts.
With a sophisticated synthesis of ethnomusicological and music
education approaches, Marsh examines sung and chanted games,
singing and dance routines associated with popular music and sports
chants, and more improvised and spontaneous chants, taunts, and
rhythmic movements. The book's index of more than 300 game genres
is a valuable reference to readers in the field of children's
folklore, providing a unique map of game distribution across an
array of cultures and geographical locations. On the companion
website, readers will be able to view on streamed video, field
recordings of children's musical play throughout the wide range of
locations and cultures that form the core of Marsh's study,
allowing them to better understand the music, movement, and textual
characteristics of musical games and interactions. Copious notated
musical examples throughout the book and the website demonstrate
characteristics of game genres, children's generative practices,
and reflections of cultural influences on game practice, and
valuable, practical recommendations are made for developing
pedagogies which reflect more child-centred and less Eurocentric
views of children's play, musical learning, and musical creativity.
Marsh brings readers to playgrounds in Australia, Norway, the USA,
the United Kingdom, and Korea, offering them an important and
innovative study of how children transmit, maintain, and transform
the games of the playground. The Musical Playground will appeal to
practitioners and researchers in music education, ethnomusicology,
and folklore.
