This book explores the meaning and value of music in children's
lives, based upon their expressed thoughts and actual musicking
behaviors in school and at play. Blending standard education field
experiences with ethnomusicological techniques, Campbell
demonstrates how music is personally and socially meaningful to
children and what values they place on particular musical styles,
songs, and functions. She explores musical behaviors in various
contextual settings-in the outdoor garden of the Lakeshore Zebras'
preschool, in Mr. Roberts' fifth grade classroom, on a school bus,
at home with the Anderson family, in the Rundale School cafeteria,
at the Toys and More Store. She documents in narrative forms some
of the "songs in their heads", balancing music learned with music
"made", and intentional, purposeful music with natural music
behavior. From age three to tween-age, children are particularized
by gender race, ethnicity, and class, and their soundscapes are
described for the contexts, functions, and meanings they make of
music in their lives. Treading through the individual cases and
conversations is the image of the "universal child" children's
culture that transcends localities, separates them from adults, and
defines them as their own community of shared beliefs and
practices. Songs in Their Heads is a vivid and engaging book that
brides the disciplines of music education, ethnomusicology, and
folklore. Designed as a text or supplemental text in a variety of
music education methods courses, as well as a reference for music
specialists and classroom teachers, this book will also appeal to
parents interested in understand and enhancing music making in
their own children.
