Popular Music Making and Young People: Leisure, Education and Industry

Moir, Zack

Abstract

This presentation explores concepts of 'leisure' and 'musical activity'
by way of contextualizing the ways in which young people engage with music making as leisure. As such musical activities are often self-directed, self-funded and fuelled principally by the enthusiasm and autodidacticism of participants. The presenter will share qualitative data gathered from interviews with participants of a youth music project in Scotland to highlight the interconnected nature of leisure, education, and industry/commerce and their impact on the musical activity, education, and musical development of young people.
