The demand for accessible educational opportunities for adults is rapidly becoming a paramount initiative for educators and students alike. Can music participation play a fundamental role in serving adult learners? This book examines the historical ideologies of andragogy (adult education) with a contemporary application of its tenets to music learning in two North American settings. A particular focus is set on telling the stories of Canadian and American adult musicians who have been motivated to perform in instrumental ensembles. Further attention is given to the various methods that adults use in learning to play music instruments and to the kinds of learning styles that may be fostered among school music students. The precepts of community music and the longitudinal implications of lifelong music-making may be of special interest to music educators as the profession reevaluates how music is taught and learned and how students of all ages are socialized musically. Additionally, this could provide essential information necessary for building collaborative relationships within communities and for advancing the timely enterprise of community engagement.
