Music lives where people live. Historically, music study has
centred on the conservatory, which privileges the study of the
Western European canon and Western European practice . The
Eurocentric way music has been studied has excluded communities
that are considered to be marginalized in one or more ways despite
that the majority of human experiences with music is found outside
of that realm. Community music has emerged as a counter-narrative
to the hegemonic music canon: it seeks to increase the
participation of those living on the boundaries. M/p>Community
Music at the Boundaries explores music and music-making on those
edges. "The real power of community music," writes Roger Mantie in
the foreword, "lies not in the fiction of trying to eliminate
boundaries (or pretending they don't exist), but in embracing the
challenge of 'walking' them." Contributions from scholars and
researchers, music practitioners, and administrators examine the
intersection of music and communities in a variety of music-making
forms: ensembles, university and police choirs, bands, prison
performing groups, youth music groups, instrument classes,
symphonies, drum circles, and musical direction and performance.
Some of the topics explored in the volume include education and
change, music and Indigenous communities, health and wellness,
music by incarcerated persons, and cultural identity. By shining a
light on boundaries, this volume provides a wealth of international
perspectives and knowledge about the ways that music enhances
lives.
