About this work

Description

Many young people rely on music to guide them through the good and bad times of their lives. Whether immersing themselvse in music to help process emotions or creating music as a means of self-expression, it provides a powerful outlet that can help young people navigate the turbulence of adolescence. Centered around the three key areas of emotion, identity, and connectedness, the Handbook of music, adolescents, and wellbeing provides insights into the relationship between music and young people, exploring questions such as: why do teenages have such a passionate relationship with music? Why is this even more apparent and important during times of difficulty? How can music be utilized to enhance wellbeing? With 26 authors from around the globe, this book canvasses a wide range of perspectives, from the most scientific to the most practical. Each chapter contains insightful stories from the authors' own experiences working with young people, and brings together the latest theory, research, and practice from the fields of music therapy, music psychology, music education, and music sociology to explore and understand how and why music plays such a big part in young lives. This book will be of interest to music therapists, youth workers, social workers, psychologists, counsellors, occupational therapists, teachers, and parents.
