McPherson, Gary E. – Special Needs, Community Music, and Adult Learning

Description

Special Needs, Community Music, and Adult Learning focuses on issues and topics that help to broaden conceptions of music and musical involvement, while recognizing that development occurs through many forms. By developing sound pedagogical approaches that are tailored to take account of all learners, it endeavors to move from making individual adaptations towards designing sensitive ‘universal’ solutions.
