Books by Lucy Green

This collection of previously published articles, chapters and keynotes traces both the theoretical contribution of Lucy Green to the emergent field of the sociology of music education, and her radical 'hands-on' practical work in classrooms and instrumental studios.

Comparing the characteristics of informal popular music learning and those of formal music education, this study is based on the outcomes of research from interviews which took place between October 1998 and May 1999 with 14 popular musicians living in and around London, aged from 15 to 50.
