Overview
Musical identity raises complex, multifarious, and fascinating questions.
Discussions in this new study consider how individuals construct their musical
identities in relation to their experiences of formal and informal music teaching
and learning. Each chapter features a different case study situated in a specific
national or local socio-musical context, spanning 20 regions across the world.
Subjects range from Ghanaian or Balinese villagers, festival-goers in Lapland, and
children in a South African township to North American and British students, adults
and children in a Cretan brass band, and Gujerati barbers in the Indian
diaspora.

What People are Saying About This
"Reknowned editor and author Lucy Green (Univ. of London Institute of Education, UK) has collected 20 case studies about identity. Not only are the essays about a variety of musical cultural identities, they are written by researchers and educators from around the world. Green includes an ethnomusicologist, a soloist, a professor of social information, musicologists, and researchers of culture and identity. This is a work of theme and variations: each essay reviews investigative research, revealing musicians from a particular culture and the issues facing the newer generation. Most essays are current, but Green does include Roe-Min Kok's iconic 'Music for a Postcolonial Child: Theorizing Malaysian Memories' (from Musical Childhoods and the Cultures of Youth, ed. by Kok and Susan Boynton, 2006). Green allows readers to journey to an isolated culture, for example, Lapland, or to a cyberspace island, and contemplate their own musical identity as they work out their educational philosophy. Valuable for music educators and ethnomusicologists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. — Choice"
