About

My work and publications are related to various subdisciplines of current musicology: music therapy, ethnomusicology, music education and the sociology of music. Underlying my profesional work is an interest in understanding the many ways in which a musical practice is made meaningfull and powerful - as an emblem of national identity, as a tool for building group solidarity, or as spontaneous improvised communication between children.
