In a world grappling with numerous existential crises, music may be perceived as little more than a mere distraction. However, in this comprehensive synthesis of ideas cultivated over a decade, a timely re-evaluation of the potential of music for human flourishing is presented, emphasizing its role in the history of human evolution alongside its potential as a resource for sustainable development.
A holistic philosophy of music is outlined, recognizing the intricate web of meaning that spreads across complementary musical dimensions of performance and participation, while also emphasizing the "paramusical benefits" that arise from both. Highlighting the notion that the social bonds that arise from musicing share much of the neurobiological underpinnings of attachment and love, music is presented as a resource with the potential to facilitate ethical human connection.
The humanistic values that are thereby materialized during musicing – love, reciprocity, and justice – form the experiential grounds for inhabiting alternative social realities. The book addresses how such a holistic philosophy of music might be implemented in practice, drawing on the authors' professional praxis as a performer, educator, community musician, composer, and researcher, in particular their experience of musician education at Sage Gateshead, Royal College of Music, and Trinity-Laban Conservatoire in the UK.
