Musical Gentrification is an exploration of the role of popular
music in processes of socio-cultural inclusion and exclusion in a
variety of contexts. Twelve chapters by international scholars
reveal how cultural objects of relatively lower status, in this
case popular musics, are made objects of acquisition by subjects or
institutions of higher social status, thereby playing an important
role in social elevation, mobility and distinction. The phenomenon
of musical gentrification is approached from a variety of angles:
theoretically, methodologically and with reference to a number of
key issues in popular music, from class, gender and ethnicity to
cultural consumption, activism, hegemony and musical agency.
Drawing on a wide range of case studies, empirical examples and
ethnographic data, this is a valuable study for scholars and
researchers of Music Education, Ethnomusicology, Cultural Studies
and Cultural Sociology.

Bennett-Alexander and Hartman's Employment Law for Business
addresses employment law and employment decisions from a managerial
perspective. This textbook shows students how to manage effectively
and efficiently, with full comprehension of the legal ramifications
of their decisions. Students learn to analyze employment law facts

dilemmas. The authors illustrate the various methods that can be
used to reach a resolution, so that students understand how to make
their own business decisions based on legal considerations.
Leadership of Pedagogy and Curriculum in Higher Music Education is
the second of a two-volume anthology dedicated to leadership and
leadership development in higher music education. Fifteen authors
write from multiple countries and contexts, exploring pedagogical
and curricular leadership challenges and successes from around the
globe. They draw attention to the dynamics of pedagogical
approaches which encourage learners' deep and agentic engagement,
considering the sustainability and scope of such interventions
while highlighting positive frameworks and approaches. As with its
companion volume, Leadership of Pedagogy and Curriculum in Higher
Music Education includes student commentary in which student
contributors give concrete ideas and recommendations for
facilitating and strengthening leadership development through
practical and equitable strategies with students, communities and
colleagues. The outcome is a collection of essays designed to offer
student musicians, higher education teachers and institutional
leaders theoretically informed and practical insights into the
development and practice of leadership.
Leadership and Musician Development in Higher Music Education
informs, challenges and evaluates the central practices, policies
and theories that underpin the preparation of future music leaders
and the leadership of music in higher education. In higher
education, it is often presumed that preparing for professional
work is the responsibility of the individual rather than the
institution. This anthology draws on the expertise of music
practitioners to present the complexities surrounding this topic,
exploring approaches to leadership development while addressing
prevalent leadership issues from multiple standpoints. Leadership
is an inherent part of being a musician: from the creative act
through to collaborative engagement, it is fundamental to creating
and sustaining a career in music. To expect musicians to develop
these necessary skills "on the job", however, is unreasonable and
impractical. What support might be given to those looking to
negotiate a career as a musician? In fourteen essays, contributors
from around the globe explore this question and more, questions
such as: How might leadership be modelled for aspiring musicians?
How might students learn to recognise, appraise and extend their
leadership development? How might institutional leaders challenge
curricular and pedagogical norms? Effective leadership development
for musicians is vital to the longevity of the profession -
Leadership and Musician Development in Higher Music Education is a
likewise vital resource for students, educators and future music
leaders alike.

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.
