This book explores the power music has to address health
inequalities and the social determinants of health and wellbeing.
It examines music participation as a determinant of wellbeing and
as a transformative tool to impact on wider social, cultural and
environmental conditions. Uniquely, in this volume health and
wellbeing outcomes are conceptualised on a continuum, with
potential effects identified in relation to individual
participants, their communities but also society at large. While
arts therapy approaches have a clear place in the text, the
emphasis is on music making outside of clinical contexts and the
broader roles musicians, music facilitators and educators can play
in enhancing wellbeing in a range of settings beyond the therapy
room. This innovative edited collection will be of great interest
to scholars and practitioners of music, social services, medical
humanities, education and the broader health field in the social
and medical sciences.

Community Music in Oceania: Many Voices, One Horizon makes a
distinctive contribution to the field of community music through
the experiences of its editors and contributors in music education,
ethnomusicology, music therapy, and music performance. Covering a
wide range of perspectives from Australia, Timor-Leste, New
Zealand, Japan, Fiji, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and
Korea, the essays raise common themes in terms of the pedagogies
and practices used, pointing collectively toward one horizon of
approach. Yet, contrasts emerge in the specifics of how community
musicians fit within the musical ecosystems of their cultural
contexts. Book chapters discuss the maintenance and
recontextualization of music traditions, the lingering impact of
colonization, the growing demands for professionalization of
community music, the implications of government policies, tensions
between various ethnic groups within countries, and the role of
institutions such as universities across the region. One of the
aims of this volume is to produce an intricate and illuminating
picture that highlights the diversity of practices, pedagogies, and
research currently shaping community music in the Asia Pacific.
Community music as a field of practice, pedagogy, and research has
come of age. The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in
practices, courses, programs, and research in communities and
classrooms, and within the organizations dedicated to the subject.
The Oxford Handbook of Community Music gives an authoritative and
comprehensive review of what has been achieved in the field to date
and what might be expected in the future. This Handbook addresses
community music through five focused lenses: contexts,
transformations, politics, intersections, and education. It not
only captures the vibrant, dynamic, and divergent approaches that
now characterize the field, but also charts the new and emerging
contexts, practices, pedagogies, and research approaches that will
define it in the coming decades. The contributors to this Handbook
outline community music's common values that center on social
justice, human rights, cultural democracy, participation, and
hospitality from a range of different cultural contexts and
perspectives. As such, The Oxford Handbook of Community Music
provides a snapshot of what has become a truly global phenomenon.
Navigating Music and Sound Education has been specifically written
for pre-service teachers who are studying music education
curriculum or pedagogy subjects. It features the voices of leading
international academics in the field to illuminate issues of
importance in preparing pre-service teacher education students. The
engaging examples provided in each chapter are drawn from real-life
educational settings, and enable readers to critically explore the
perspectives presented by the authors and consider the application
of such perspectives in their future practice.
