Exploring Research in Music Education e Music Therapy

Este texto prático fornece uma introdução abrangente para a compreensão da pesquisa em educação musical e musicoterapia. Projetado principalmente para o curso introdutório de pesquisa feito por alunos de graduação e pós-graduação de nível superior, também é útil para todos os alunos de graduação interessados ??em ambos os campos.
Em contraste com os livros tradicionais de "como fazer", Exploring Research in Music Education and Music Therapy adoata uma abordagem única de "como ler e compreender" para a pesquisa musical.
Ajuda os alunos a explorar e compreender artigos em periódicos de pesquisa profissional, familiarizando-os com a própria literatura e com conceitos básicos, termos e símbolos estatísticos.
