Personal Representatives
Authors: Rosario-Richardson Lita 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the historical role and structure of professional recording and performing artists’ legal relationships with personal representatives, including personal managers, business managers, booking agents, road managers, song-pluggers, and lawyers. It also examines the changing roles of these personal representatives in the new music ecosystem given the advent of the internet and social media and the changing compensation model of the music industry to a streaming subscription model. The chapter examines duration of contracts, commissions (including post-term compensation), termination of contracts, key man clauses, powers of attorney, reimbursement of expenses, and fiduciary relationships. The chapter also examines the emerging role of labels in so-called 360 recording contracts, where labels seek financial compensation more like a personal manager in the full breadth of a professional recording artist’s career for live performances, merchandizing and endorsements, acting, and sponsorships compared to their historical financial relationship with recording artists wherein labels received compensation related to record sales and possibly merchandise and music publishing income.
Young Children’s Musical Identities
Authors: Niland Amanda 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the relationships between young children’s musical development and identities in this rapidly changing, diverse, and increasingly globalized world. Children use music in a range of ways right from birth: it plays emotional, cognitive, and social roles in their lives. Music therefore contributes to children’s development across domains, including their emerging individual and social identities. The relationship between musical identity and development is reciprocal, as the ways in which children experience and “do” music are influenced by the musical cultures and identities of those around them—in their families, neighborhoods, early childhood and other community settings, and the wider world beyond, including the digital world. Their musical worlds are influenced by many factors and are thus complex and diverse. With this complexity in mind, ecological systems theory, as well as sociological, anthropological, and ethnomusicological literature, informs this chapter.
Section Introduction
Authors: Custodero Lori , Campbell Patricia Shehan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines the Handbook section on Music in Family and Community Contexts. Using methods including analysis of autobiographical texts, surveys, parent observations, and cross-cultural comparison, these authors present a compelling picture of research involving children at home and in various community groups. The depicted study of childhood demonstrates that children find agency and well-being through music-making and that this provides sustenance for them during times of trouble and unrest.
Music in Early Education and Care Settings for Communication and Language Support
Authors: Pitt Jessica , Welch Graham F. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Music groups for caregivers and young children are frequently included within programs of activities for families in early education and care settings. Additionally, such settings may have specific targets and outcomes that seek to improve the life chances of young children in disadvantaged circumstances; one key target may be the development of young children’s communication skills. This chapter overviews the evidence that appropriate musical activities are beneficial to learning and language development, challenging a view that words are the best starting point for communication. It seeks to offer a model of an effective music pedagogical approach, developed through action research with an interdisciplinary team of early childhood music-arts practitioners and speech and language therapists for caregivers and young children. Finally, the main findings from two projects are presented as practical implications, seeking to contribute new knowledge about working with children and their caregivers through musical play and interaction.
Early Childhood and Musics of the Diaspora
Authors: Wu Yen-Ting , Welch Graham F. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter reports on the important role played by the family’s background as part of a diasporic community in musical behaviors and development in early childhood. Two theoretical perspectives (Ecological Systems Theory and Sounds of Intent in the Early Years) were applied to frame, collect, and analyze data on the social and cultural influences of the family on the child’s musical development. Empirical data included semi-structured interviews with twenty Chinese mothers, ten of whom provided diary accounts, as well as video clips and photographs to record the musical behaviors of their child over a period of six months. The main findings highlight the significance of the home and local musical cultures, as well as the family’s connections to their home country, with children’s musical behaviors often shaped by media and digital technology.
Sub-Saharan African Musical Learning Communities
Authors: Achieng' Akuno Emily , Addo Akosua Obuo , Achieng' Andang'o Elizabeth , Emberly Andrea , Davhula Mudzunga , Matiure Perminus 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter tackles the childhood music practiced in traditional and modern African settings with emphasis on teaching and learning as facilitated and enhanced by children’s songs and music-making. The spaces where music making takes place, the types of children’s music material, and the occasions during which children make music today are explored from the context of South Africa’s Venda, Zimbabwe’s Shona, Ghana’s Akan, and Kenya’s Luo communities and cultural practices, as representative people of Sub-Saharan Africa. The music practices are interrogated as elements of the African Indigenous Knowledge System, a complex entity from which communities derive their identity and make sense of their existence. The school plays a role in providing scope, modalities, and context for cultivating children’s growth through the use of music in teaching, teaching music, and employing music in non-class situations for learners’ aesthetic development, cultural, and intellectual growth.
Early Childhood and Music in Indigenous Contexts
Authors: Treloyn Sally , Emberly Andrea , Goonginda Charles Rona , Umbagai Leah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Descriptions of children’s musical experiences and practices in Indigenous Australian contexts often reflect holistic approaches to identity, linked to ancestry, spirituality, and place. Simultaneously, the musical worlds of Indigenous children are interconnected with complex social, cultural, historical, spiritual, and political contexts that draw upon local, regional, and global musical styles. This collaborative chapter reviews selected literature that addresses cultural identity and expression in the context of babies and children in Indigenous Australian and Indigenous Canadian contexts. This literature is used as a foundation from which to present accounts of childhood musical cultural practices from the Mowanjum Aboriginal Community in the Kimberley region, northwest Australia. Focusing on musical teaching and learning, the chapter considers the musical landscape, cultural inheritances, and active roles that young children play through their musical activities, in cultural resurgence, in stimulating new music (and dance) practices, and in social wellbeing.
The Role of Music in Emotion Regulation for Children Who Have Experienced Abuse and Neglect
Authors: Teggelove Kate 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the potential of music for supporting young children whose capacity for emotion regulation, and subsequently their overall development, has been impacted by experiences of abuse or neglect. Drawing from James Gross’s theories of emotion generation and Bruce Perry’s descriptions of sequential brain development, the chapter explores the place for music therapy in emotion regulation, and integrates a narrative case to highlight therapeutic application of music for establishing healthy connections and supporting regulatory behaviours with dysregulated children. The chapter importantly acknowledges the strength of broader intentional music application within the context of stable, trustworthy relationships also, for heightening a child’s sense of routine, connection, and safety—vital for optimal child development and improved long-term health and wellbeing outcomes.
The Musical Activities of Syrian Refugee Children in Sweden
Authors: Danielson Carrie A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter proposes a descriptive model for music programs seeking to meet the social and psychological needs and interests of refugee children. Drawing upon ethnomusicological fieldwork conducted at the kulturskola, or municipal music-and-arts school, in Simrishamn, Sweden, the study focuses on a young Syrian refugee and her engagement with Swedish and Arabic song repertoires at the school. Her experiences generate insights into the integrative and acculturative potentials of music-based programs, the challenges young refugees face when adapting to new environments, and the possibilities for music-and-arts institutions to respond to newly arrived and unaccompanied children. The latter part of the chapter proposes a post-migration transition sphere model for addressing such issues, which in turn generates reflexive questions pertaining to the efficacy of diversity-driven music programs, the lived experiences of refugee children in sites of transition from trauma and conflict, and the need for additional scholarly research in these areas.
Development of Wellbeing and Self-Esteem through “Music for Reconciliation,” a Music Program for Children and Youngsters Living in Severe Social Disadvantage in Colombia
Authors: Durán María Claudia Parias , Rodríguez-Sánchez Andrea del Pilar 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article presents the social impacts of Music for Reconciliation, a program of the National Batuta Foundation, which is implemented in Colombia, a country that has experienced one of the longest armed conflicts in the Western Hemisphere. The orientation of this program is aimed at providing high-quality collective music training for children and young victims of conflict. The intervention has repercussions on (i) the level of psychosocial development of the participants in aspects such as the resocialization processes generated at the individual, family, school, and community levels; and (ii) the emotional recovery of children and youth, in the restoration of the social fabric of communities and in the strengthening of Batuta’s institutional capacities. Therefore, the project promotes artistic practice as a tool for social transformation and peacebuilding.
Creating Sustainable Music Programs with Vulnerable Populations in Community Settings
Authors: Bolger Lucy , Purey Somesh 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents a practice-led perspective on achieving sustainability in fixed-term community-based music projects for early childhood development in international and community development settings. This chapter outlines considerations for music-based consultation and collaboration with communities supporting children with disabilities, informed by music therapy theory, research, and practice. Authors propose four key considerations when striving for sustainability in community and international development music projects and provide tangible links to practice through an in-depth case example from rural India. Authors draw on their shared and individual practice as music therapists in both India and Australia. They aim for this joint framing of their work to offer an intercultural perspective on the potentials and priorities to consider when facilitating fixed-term community-based early childhood music projects.
Windows on Children’s Perspectives on Music in Their Lives
Authors: Zhukov Katie , Barrett Margaret S. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Participatory and visual methods are widely used in early childhood research to access children’s perspectives. Music activities play an important role in many children’s lives in home and school settings, with formal and informal music experiences enhancing academic achievement. This chapter reports on children’s perceptions and uses of music in family lives and at school. Data were generated with children aged between four and eight years who participated in drawing-elicited focus group discussions. Transcripts were coded and analyzed for emerging themes. The findings show that children recognized the intrinsic value of music; sang and played musical games; made music at home and in a car; played musical instruments; accessed music using technology; used music for mood and self-regulation; built social interactions and confidence through music; and identified music’s positive impact on literacy and numeracy development. The study demonstrates that visual research methods are particularly useful when working with young children.
Supporting Children Living with Neurodiversity
Authors: Abad Vicky , Welch Graham F. , Barrett Margaret S. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents a case study analysis of the engagement and experience of one family and their neurodiverse young child in a community-based Music Early Learning Program (MELP). Neurodiversity is viewed in the context that neurological conditions are the natural outcome of normal variations in the human genome, thus recognizing and respecting neurological differences as any other human variation. This case study explores how access to music in a community setting helped support their child’s development while also supporting the child and his family’s experience of living with neurodiversity. Rich examples of access and engagement are analyzed and discussed through this lens. Implications of this family’s musical experience are drawn for early learning policy and practice in the context of neurodiversity.
Section Commentary: Researching Children’s Music-Centered Cultural Poetics
Authors: Kanellopoulos Panagiotis A. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This commentary suggests that we approach recent research on children’s musical development as studies of what can, after Greenblatt (1990), be termed children’s music-centered cultural poetics. Deviating from traditional views of children as passive recipients, from “closed,” tribal views of children’s musical worlds, as well as from uniform views of children as “natural” creatives, the chapters in Section 1 of The Oxford Handbook of Early Childhood Music Learning and Development frame children as cultural agents who appropriate, transform, use, reuse, create and co-create both music and frameworks for making it, on the basis of the affordances induced by the different cultural practices in which they find themselves. The chapters that follow offer culture-sensitive perspectives on children’s relationship with and through music that may help both music educators and parents to envision “a pedagogy of listening and radical dialogue” (Dahlberg & Moss, 2005, p. 107).
Making and Re-Making an Industry
Authors: Glimstedt Henrik , Carpenter Marie 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter analyses standardization in the mobile infrastructure equipment industry since the late 1970s. This industry provides an illustration of the complexity of the governance of innovation when continual technological development needs to be balanced with standards that ensure interoperability and stabilize change to allow for significant investment in research and development (R&D). It highlights the permanent negotiation and renegotiation involved as the nature of industry itself evolves with different actors, market needs, and technological issues giving rise to new forms of governance. Solutions adopted to deal with inevitable conflicts generate new innovative strategies and the industry is again transformed in a way that gives rise to new conflicts and new solutions. The chapter concludes, somewhat speculatively, by suggesting that due to recent legislative challenges with respect to the essential patents, the current renegotiation might lead to a less globally standardized industry in the future.
Cinema Therapy—The Film as a Medicine. From the Silent Film Era to the Present Day
Authors: Poltrum Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Under the code cinema therapy or movie therapy, there have been efforts for some time to test the effect of films in different therapeutic settings and with different patient groups. Taking a closer look at the history of film therapy, it becomes apparent that at the time of the silent film, there had already been a medical discourse on the effect of films in a therapeutic context. In this paper, principal philosophical–therapeutic considerations on cinema therapy are made, the historical and current discourses are presented, the most important publications are mentioned, and one’s own cinema–therapeutic models, experiences, and reflections are reported. In addition, selected case studies show how films can be utilized in a clinical context and which effects and undesirable side effects can be obtained by means of film therapy. The final focus of this article is on films that depict psychotherapy, love films, and films that address the phenomena of intoxication, ecstasy, and addiction, and how these were applied by the author of this paper in the inpatient treatment of addicts.
Aesthetic Experience and Aesthetic Deprivation in Hospitals
Authors: Moss Hilary 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Evidence exists that the arts enrich health care settings in multiple ways. Arts interventions in hospitals can improve quality of care, communicate welcome, relieve anxiety, offer opportunities for self-expression, individualize care and support rehabilitation and recovery. Interdisciplinary collaboration, for example between hospital building managers, senior clinicians, and creative curators, is required to achieve aesthetically enriching hospital environments that contribute to the mental well-being of service users and health-care staff. This chapter demonstrates the role of aesthetics in hospital and is grounded in the author’s twenty-five year experience as a manager, music therapist and musician, working in the field of arts and health in health-care settings. Examples include a study of older adults in hospital in which aesthetic interests are mapped; a collaborative project between a consultant anaesthetist and a music therapist that provides music interventions in chronic pain care; a song writing project for mental health service users and a study of the benefit of singing for health-care staff. The arts can afford opportunities for articulating and interrogating lived experience at observational, participatory, and creative levels whilst coping with ill health including pain and vulnerability. Awareness of the aesthetic dimension may aid the articulation of complex human experience, and the effect of aesthetic neglect or deprivation in healthcare settings is highlighted.
Queer as Sacred
Authors: slaughter kei 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The impacts of racialized spiritual violence on Black LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning, asexual) individuals are complex. This chapter presents a Black queer theory for music therapy: Queer as Sacred (QAS). Through arts-based inquiry, the chapter explores a trauma-focused, intersectional, identity-based approach currently applied in S O U L F O L K Sounds. Musical improvisations grounded in African-American culture informs the author’s examination of anti-oppressive ideologies in four main sections, paralleling life in the Black Church: (i) altar/alter call, (ii) catching/sustaining the spirit, (iii) Sunday dinner, and (iv) the anointing. QAS positions queer Black bodies as sites of sacred resistance and virtual spaces of worthiness. This work argues for the reimagination of music therapy theory and practice in ways that amplify Black queer/quare experiences. Broader implications for the field of music therapy and related disciplines are discussed.
Tradeoffs in Uncertain Decision Making
Authors: Strickland Luke , Boag Russell J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In modern workplaces, managers and employees are increasingly expected to make decisions under uncertainty. Theories of organizational behavior stand to benefit by incorporating an understanding of the information-processing mechanisms that underlie human decision making under uncertainty. Computational cognitive models specify and test fundamental principles of how humans learn and make decisions under uncertainty. Crucially, they provide information about ubiquitous tradeoffs that humans face when making uncertain decisions. Understanding such tradeoffs can facilitate productivity and mitigate human errors. In this chapter, the authors review insights provided by computational cognitive models into human information processing under uncertainty. The first half of the review focuses on state uncertainty, that is, uncertainty in the human’s knowledge of what state their environment is in. The authors review influential decision-making models that describe how humans resolve uncertainty in order to act. The second half of the review focuses on reward uncertainty, that is, uncertainty about the rewards associated with actions. The authors review influential accounts that describe learning under reward uncertainty, and the potential tradeoffs associated with such learning. The authors conclude by discussing an example in which a tradeoff identified by cognitive science was integrated into a theory of organizational behavior.
Art Music in the Yishuv and in Early-Statehood Israel
Authors: Hirshberg Jehoash 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In parallel to an evolving concert life and the foundation of institutions in British Mandate Palestine, the Yishuv saw the emergence of art music. As the developments of the 1930s to 1960s reveal, there was a plethora of attempts and approaches that filtered into the conception of art music. The founding generation of composers, most of them immigrants from German-speaking Europe, did not form a homogenous body. While being driven by the urge for new collectivism and for an imagined East, they remained attached to their roots. Within this, there was a proliferation of styles, especially in the 1950s and 1960s, when growing disillusionment with Romanticist nationalism loomed large. A unique development was the transformation of the East from a foggy Orientalist ideology to a musical reality through mediators and quotations of traditional melodies. The encounter of European art music and Near Eastern musical tropes enriched Israel’s art music.
Bukharian Jewish Weddings and Creative Uses of the Central Asian Past
Authors: Rapport Evan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Weddings are central to the ways that contemporary Bukharian Jews in the United States relate to their Central Asian heritage. Bukharian Jews invoke old Central Asia by remembering weddings of the past and by performing representations of old Central Asia at contemporary weddings. Many aspects of these remembrances and performances, such as an overemphasis on the historical role of classical music and the sozanda wedding entertainer, and the symbolic incorporation of Central Asian instruments, can seem to simplify or conflict with what is known about weddings and Bukharian life in Central Asia more generally. However, these differences do not reflect a misunderstanding or distortion of the realities. Instead, Bukharian Jews are creatively using the Central Asian past to provide meaning and distinctiveness to the community’s history and experiences, as well as happiness and pride. Various issues surrounding these creative uses of the past are discussed, including the role of mass migration in producing diverse needs and desires among older and younger generations.
