Description
Music in groups happens everywhere - from public ceremonies to music therapy sessions. While some group musicking seems to work well, others can feel exhausting or hard to explain. Music therapist Mercédès Pavlicevic draws on her extensive experience to develop a broad-based discourse for describing and guiding the practice of group musicking. This book explores key issues such as balancing individual and group needs, dealing with over-enthusiastic performers, and navigating institutional complexities. It also examines the development of group time, music listening programmes, and instrument purchases for group work. If you're involved in any kind of group musicking, this book is a valuable resource to help you make sense of it all. The text is illustrated with vignettes from a range of settings, including formal and informal occasions, collective rituals, and community work.
