Description: "Making Music in Britain provides the means of seeing behind the packaging and images in order to discover what it really means to be a musician. Through interviews with a selection of professional musicians, the variety of musical experience, musical thought and creativity is revealed. Discussions include the experience of music within education; concern about the quality and content of music education within schools; musical creativity; performance issues; the process of composition and the evaluation of each individual's response to music."--Jacket.
