Children with challenging behaviour who get excluded from school
often go on to have some of the worst life outcomes of any group in
society. Often relocated into Pupil Referral Units or PRUs, few of
them do well academically and when they leave school many get
caught up in the criminal justice system or become homeless. Yet
these young people can be very creative and frequently have a
passion for music, although they often do not get the opportunity
to play or get involved in music making. This book looks at these
children, who they are and how they are treated by the education
system. The book's aim is to illustrate successful ways musicians
work with these children, how they treat them with respect and
enable them to grow as young musicians. Drawing on his decades of
experience working with these young people, his PhD research and
interviews with over forty educators and community musicians, the
author shares a very different methodology to that used in
mainstream music education, a methodology that values the child
more than the curriculum and puts equal emphasis on musical,
personal and social development.
