Adolescents on Music - Paperback

by Cassidy Parker (Author)

In Adolescents on Music, author Elizabeth Cassidy Parker proves that the common difficulty found in attempting to collectively articulate why musicking experiences are important for young people stems from failing to ask adolescents to share their ideas richly and fully, demonstrating the need for deeper efforts to connect adolescent perspectives with established theories and philosophies in the social sciences and humanities.
