Practical Musicology outlines a theoretical framework for studying a broad range of current musical practices and aims to provoke discussion about key issues in the rapidly expanding area of practical musicology: the study of how music is made. The book explores various forms of practice ranging from performance and composition to listening and dancing, from historically informed performances of Bach in the USA to Indonesian Dubstep or Australian musical theatre, and from Irish traditional music played by French musicians from Toulouse to Brazilian thrash metal or K-Pop. Drawing on neuroscience, cognitive psychology, ecological approaches in anthropology, and the social construction of technology and creativity, Zagorski-Thomas uses a series of case studies and examples to investigate how practice is already being studied and to suggest a principle for how it might continue to develop, based around the assertion that musicking cannot be treated as a culturally or ideologically neutral phenomenon.

Simon Zagorski-Thomas is Professor at the London College of Music, University of West London, UK, and is Co-Chairman of the Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production. He worked for 25 years as a composer, sound engineer, and producer and is, at present, conducting research into 21st Century Musical Practice. His books include The Art of Record Production (2012), co-edited with Simon Frith, and The Musicology of Record Production (2014), winner of the 2015 IASPM Book Prize.
