Description
Thinking Community Music by Lee Higgins explores the complexities of community music practice and theory. This thought-provoking book presents eight stand-alone essays that challenge readers to question, reflect, and engage in dialogue about participatory music-making. Through a critical examination of intervention, hospitality, pedagogy, social justice, inclusion, cultural democracy, research, and future possibilities, the book provides a framework for conceptual interrogation about community music practices. Drawing on poststructural philosophy, it offers a unique perspective on the role of community music in shaping our understanding of social-cultural music-making and music teaching and learning. By examining the intersections between community music and broader musical practices, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the music ecology.
