Routledge | English | 2017 | ISBN-10: 1472464982 | 510 pages | PDF | 3.9 MB

Programmes, courses and modules in popular music studies, popular music performance, songwriting and areas of music technology are becoming commonplace across higher education.

At present, research in Popular Music Education lies at the fringes of the fields of music education, ethnomusicology, community music, cultural studies and popular music studies.
