Musical Childhoods of Asia and the Pacific

Musical Childhoods of Asia and the Pacific agglomerates stories of youngchildren's music and musicking from around Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
A collection of truly unique traditions are interrogated through a variety of
contemporary methodologies. Readers are privileged to hear about
children's musical worlds from children, mothers' musical worlds from mothers, a struggle to engage with music
in a closed society, and new gender politics, among other stories. Researchers share experiences and insights
gained from applying their chosen methodologies and add to the debate that shapes the continually transforming
domain of music education research.
Musical Childhoods builds on the diverse inquiry presented in the first three volumes in the series. This volume
is an important addition to the libraries of colleges of education and schools of music, as well as music scholars
and educators, researchers, and graduate students who are concerned with
advancing both the scope and quality of research in the study of music
