Full Description
This book brings together studies that provide ethnomethodological accounts of musically-related phenomena, describing in detail how they are accomplished and how they contribute to our understanding of the local production of order.
Reflecting the extent to which music intersects with everyday life, the topics covered are broad in scope, including studies of order surrounding the actual playing of musical instruments, as well as chapters that examine how music is produced as a recorded phenomenon, how music is taught and learnt, how it intersects with other activities such as dance, how it is presented for consumption in various environments, and the multiple forms that consumption of music can take, in social groups and on one's own.
A rich and detailed depiction of how people actually go about producing and consuming music in ordinary settings, and the ways that this is woven into ordinary everyday life and common sense reasoning, Ethnomethodological Studies of Music will appeal to social scientists and musicologists with interests in ethnomethodology and research methods
