Description

Adolescents on Music: Why Music Matters to Young People in Our Lives by Elizabeth Cassidy Parker explores the significance of music-making experiences for young people. Despite its importance, this topic can be challenging to articulate, even for professionals working with adolescents and parents raising them. To address this challenge, Parker seeks new perspectives from young people themselves, sharing their voices and experiences through three sections: Who I Am, My Social Self, and Toward a Future Vision. Each chapter begins with a description from an adolescent musician, highlighting their unique insights into the meanings they assign to music-making and its contributions to their development. By connecting adolescent perspectives with established theories and philosophies in the social sciences and humanities, Parker sheds new light on the value of musicking experiences for young people.
