Developing identities in family musical involvement
In both Chinese and Western cultures, the family plays an important role in shaping musical identity. However, family involvement in musical engagement is likely to be different in the two social and cultural contexts. We carried out a qualitative investigation into family musical involvement (FMI) in the Chinese context. A total of 16 members of six urban families in Chengdu, Sichuan, China took part in semi-structured interviews, which were ana…
The role of family musical involvement in family relationships
Previous studies suggest that family musical activities have a positive influence on family cohesion and well-being. Despite the significance of both family and music in people’s lives, few studies have focused on the function of music within the family unit, and very few have examined families in China. This study presents a qualitative investigation into the effects of family musical involvement (FMI) on Chinese family relationships. Participan…
Exploring approaches to community music delivery by practitioners with and without additional support needs
Previous community music research indicates a diverse field with many forms of practice. Understanding the views of community music practitioners about their approaches offers an important way to understand their professional identities and strategies they employ. A qualitative study interviewed five community music practitioners from the same company to investigate their approaches. Two had 30 years of experience and were training three practiti…
Habitus of home and traditional drinking
There is evidence that alcohol consumption among those in middle-class occupations consistently exceeds safe levels, yet there has been little research into why this occurs. This article explores the meanings associated with alcohol use among professional, managerial and clerical workers. Qualitative data were collected from five focus groups of male and female employees aged 21-55 (N=49: 32 male, 17 female). Each focus group was conducted on the…
The ‘other’ in patterns of drinking
When developing public health alcohol interventions it is important to consider the views of differing groups within the population. Our sample considered public health messages to be of no relevance to them, rather they reinforced perceptions that their own alcohol use was controlled and acceptable. To develop effective public health alcohol interventions the views of this group should be examined in more detail
Constructions of jazz
The collaborative processes of jazz improvising are of considerable academic interest as a unique form of creativity. While recent work highlights the utility of interviewing practitioners with the aim of gaining an authoritative view, there is still a need for research to apprehend the gamut of what can be constituted as “jazz”. A previous study has shown how understandings of the music arising in focus group interviews with jazz improvisers are…
The Non-Resident Parental Role for Separated Fathers
Ideas about the role of fathers in the separated family have changed over the last few decades. The prevalent legal construct of ‘co-parenting’ implies that children should be able to maintain contact with a non-resident parent, usually the father, if they wish, except in cases where there has been abuse or violence. Research in several disciplines has sought to explain the processes of contact by examining the behaviour of separated fathers, the…
