<br/><br/> Music has been a vital part of leisure activity across time and cultures. Contemporary commodification, commercialisation, and consumerism, however, have created a chasm between conceptualisations of music making and numerous realities in our world. From a broad range of perspectives and approaches, this handbook explores avocational involvement with music (i.e., amateur, recreation) as an integral part of the human condition. The chapters in this handbook present a myriad of ways for reconsidering-refocusing attention on-the rich, exciting, and emotionally charged ways in which people of all ages make time for making music through music learning and participation.
