Spinning the Child examines music for children on records, radio
and television by assessing how ideals of entertainment, education,
'the child' and 'the family' have been communicated through folk
music, the BBC's children's radio broadcasting, the children's
songs of Woody Guthrie, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and Bagpuss,
the contemporary children's music industry and other case studies.
The book provides the first sustained critical overview of recorded
music for children, its production and dissemination. The music,
lyrics and sonics of hundreds of recorded songs are analysed with
reference to their specific social, historical and technological
contexts. The chapters expose the attitudes, morals and desires
that adults have communicated both to and about the child through
the music that has been created and compiled for children. The
musical representations of age, race, class and gender reveal how
recordings have both reflected and shaped transformations in
discourses of childhood. This book is recommended for scholars in
the sociology of childhood, the sociology of music,
ethnomusicology, music education, popular musicology, children's
media and related fields. Spinning the Child's emphasis on the
analysis of musical, lyrical and sonic texts in specific contexts
suggests its value as both a teaching and research resource.
