What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Ambitiously contributes to the interdisciplinary orientation that is so typical of current music studies….opens up new avenues for future research on musical learning, development and creativity….It is to be hoped, therefore, that the ideas offered in this book will inspire new approaches and ways of thinking about the nature and meaning of human musicality which align closely with the actual experience of music in human life.”
