Many young people rely on music to guide them through the good and
bad times of their lives. Whether immersing themselves in music to
process emotions or creating music as a means of self-expression,
it provides a powerful outlet that can help young people navigate
the turbulence of adolescence. Centred around the three key areas
of emotion, identity, and connectedness, the Handbook of Music,
Adolescents, and Wellbeing provides insights into the relationship
between music and young people, exploring questions such as: why do
teenagers have such a passionate relationship with music? Why this
is even more apparent and important during times of difficulty? How
can music be utilised to enhance wellbeing? With 26 authors from
around the globe, this book canvasses a wide range of perspectives,
from the most scientific to the most practical. Each chapter
contains insightful stories from the authors' own experiences
working with young people, and brings together the latest theory,
research, and practice from the fields of music therapy, music
psychology, music education, and music sociology to explore and
understand how and why music plays such a big part in young lives.
The first section addresses the popular topic of music and
emotions, clarifying the ways that young people can learn to use
music intentionally to achieve healthy outcomes. The second section
looks at identity construction, emphasising agency in the ways that
young people choose to express themselves both personally and to
others. The third section explores connectedness, with a particular
emphasis on uses of technology to connect with others. This book
will be of interest to music therapists, youth and social workers,
psychologists, counsellors, occupational therapists, teachers,
parents, and anyone interested in promoting adolescent wellbeing
through music.
