Perspectives in Music and Music Education

The Perspectives in Music and Music Education series includes publications by senior researchers and doctoral students that do not fall into the category of doctoral dissertations. This means that the range of content is wide and includes historical, theoretical and methodological perspectives. For example, Håkan Lundström's solid compilation of the History of the Swedish Academy of Music, published on the occasion of the centenary in 2007, and Liora Bresler's 'Beyond methods: lessons from the arts to qualitative research, reflect the various authors' methodological innovations in music education'. David Johnson's 'Confluence: perspectives from an intercultural music exchange in Nepal' is the result of a project by senior researchers and doctoral students in an earthquake-affected village with socially engaged musicians. Feel free to explore further.
