A Dictionary for the Modern Clarinetist

As we listen and move to music, sing, compose, and play, we engage in musical experiences. Â These happen in formal learning settings, such as schools and rehearsal halls, but also in informal settings, such as homes and community centers. Â Musical experiences are fundamentally social and can teach us about ourselves and our relationship to others. Â This book explores some of the many ways we experience music and create musical meaning from infancy through older adulthood. Â While vignettes, narratives, and cases form the primary focus of each chapter, the contributors of the book use extant research and theory to deepen understanding of a particular phenomenon, idea, or experience. Â Paper, 360 p.
