Musical Mothering
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-65156-4 (ISBN)
This book examines how gender and class discourses shape 'musical mothering' by incorporating knowledges from sociology, psychology, cultural studies, and education. Chapters detail the fundamental and functional role that mothers play in children's musical development alongside children's agency in influencing familial experiences. Music plays an essential role in the lives of mothers for themselves. Through interviews with mothers and grandmothers, as well as the author's own autobiographical reflections, the author offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to motherhood and music within Australian culture.
