Series: SEMPRE Studies in The Psychology of Music

How do we develop social inclusion through musical activities? What is the power of music in enhancing individual inclusion, group cohesion, and cross-community work in post-conflict environments? How can we investigate social music programmes and interventions? This comprehensive volume offers new research on these questions by an international team of experts from the fields of music education, music psychology, ethnomusicology, and community music. The book celebrates the rich diversity of ways in which learners of all ages participate in social music projects in complex settings. Contributions focus broadly on musical and social processes, considering its conceptualisation and practices in a number of contexts. The authors examine how social music projects can be fostered in complex settings, drawing examples from schools and community settings. These critical chapters will inspire readers to think deeply about social music interventions and their development. The book will be of crucial interest to educators, policymakers, researchers, and students, as it draws on applied research from across 14 countries, of which ten are in the Global South.

Reviews for Music and Social Inclusion: International Research and Practice in Complex Settings

‘A scholarly collection by talented academic researchers intended to stimulate discussion within the field…for socially minded music educators, the volume is not only informative but inspirational. [With an] incredible diversity of programs studied, serving a wide range of ages, ethnicities, socio-economic classes and political contexts, Music and Social Inclusion stands as a good manual for anyone interested in conscientiously building or developing a social music program of their own.’ American Music Teacher ‘Authored by experts in the fields of music, sociology, psychology and education, delving into the multifaceted dimensions of how music can bridge gaps, break barriers and create spaces for cohesion within diverse and intricate societal frameworks…Odena sets the agenda by interrogating the power of music in enhancing social inclusion…Coyne and MacDonald explore homelessness and choral signing as a place of sanctuary. Mateos-Moreno provides a very interesting and scholarly interrogation of landmarks of a community music project…There is much to ponder in this edited volume [which] illustrates the symbiosis between practice and research…Educators, policy-makers, researchers and of course students will be encouraged to think critically about their own study and practice.’ International Journal of Community Music
