Reihe: SEMPRE Studies in The Psychology of Music

In an age when students come to class with more varied music listening preferences and experiences than ever before, music educators often find themselves at a loss for how to connect with their students. This book provides the beginnings of a solution to this problem by characterizing students' contemporary music listening experiences as they are mediated by new music listening devices that play or stream compressed music files. Several components of contemporary music listening experiences are described in the book, including: the relationship between music listening experiences and listeners' engagements with other activities, listener agency in creating playlists and the creation of listening experiences, and the development of adolescent identities as related to the agency afforded by the music listening devices. The book provides an introduction to scholarship on music listening across the disciplines of musicology, ethnomusicology, sociology of music, psychology of music, and music education. By reading this book music educators can gain an understanding of recent theories of music listening in everyday life. The book includes a guide for applying these theories to the classroom. The guide is meant to help teachers bridge the gap between themselves and students who encounter music within a technology-rich, post-performance world.
