The Accessibility of Music: Participation, Reception, and Contact

The monograph The Accessibility of Music brings the concept of accessibility into all specialist musical discourses and aims to shift those discourses. The book represents an important intervention because it provides the tools to explicitly (re-) analyse any musical context in terms of a range of accessibility perspectives which have hitherto tended to be only implicit.

The work encompasses and integrates a number of methodologies and (sub-disciplines) including aesthetics, ethnography, social anthropology, musicology and psychology, which are brought to bear on three disparate case studies from “ethnic”, “popular” and “art” music.
