Research has indicated that provision is at best patchy, despite the widely held belief that music is beneficial, both in its own right and to promote wider development. This book seeks to foster progress in what is still a young discipline by reflecting on contemporary thinking and practice, identifying key issues, introducing recent and ongoing research, and providing practical advice for practitioners including teachers, therapists, and community musicians. * Identifies and reflects on the key issues * Introduces relevant research * Sets out a framework of musical development * Shows how music can inform wider learning and development * Includes illustrations of good practice
