Caring for Music: Musical Life, Late Life: Music and Change: Ecological Perspectives

Autor Gary Ansdell, Tia DeNora
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2026
Caring for Music takes us into the everyday musical life of ‘Hill House’ - a residential care home – to offer a moving portrait of a music therapist working alongside residents, care staff, family and friends over many years. The book documents the rich musical practices that emerge when people care for music together. Readers gain access to innovative micro-methods for documenting music-in-action, revealing often-unnoticed capabilities and contributions from residents, staff, and visitors alike. Music is not seen as a magical solution for managing symptoms within a ‘tragic situation’. Instead, shared, creative music-making fosters moments of connection, relationship, community, celebration and shared pleasure for everyone in the home; a means of genuine person-centred caring.

Recenzii

‘Meticulously and beautifully written, Ansdell and DeNora capture a genuine essence of all that can happen when music is thoughtfully integrated into aging care contexts–not as a means of “fixing” problems but as a relational aesthetic medium that offers myriad possibilities for living well in spite of difficulties often experienced in later life.’ 
Laurel Young, Ph.D., MTA, Professor of Music Therapy, Concordia University (Montréal, Canada)
‘I would love the book to be read not only by those involved with music therapy but by others working in the ‘caring’ professions, including my own field of speech and language therapy. The authors illustrate clearly the specific contribution of music, as a form that is part of (almost) everyone’s life and somehow survives the ravages of dementia, but importantly, the specific contribution of the music therapist and how music therapy contributes to creating a family and home (which is certainly what I experienced on the occasions when I was there for a session).’ 
Dr Shula Chiat, daughter of one of the residents
'This book compellingly demonstrates the value of a music-centred approach that remains sensitive to the contextual factors shaping this work. Rooted in creative theory and guided by practical wisdom, it presents a deeply humanistic vision of music therapy. It will be of great interest to anyone involved in elder care—including family members and policymakers—providing profound knowledge about how to enhance quality of life in the final phase of living.' 
Even Ruud, Professor Emeritus, Norwegian Academy of Music and University of Oslo

Descriere

Caring for Music presents a groundbreaking ethnographic study of musical engagement in residential care, revealing how music becomes a medium of connection, pleasure, and relationship rather than merely an intervention for symptom management.
