From early medieval bards to the bands of the 'Cool Cymru' era, this book looks at Welsh musical practices and traditions, the forces that have influenced and directed them, and the ways in which the idea of Wales as a 'musical nation' has been formed and embedded in popular consciousness in Wales and beyond. Beginning with early medieval descriptions of musical life in Wales, the book provides both an overarching study of Welsh music history and detailed consideration of the ideas, beliefs, practices and institutions that shaped it. Topics include the eisteddfod, the church and the chapel, the influence of the Welsh language and Welsh cultural traditions, the scholarship of the Celtic Revival and the folk song movement, the impacts of industrialization and digitization, and exposure to broader trends in popular culture, including commercial popular music and sport.

Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Sounding the Indian Ocean is the first volume to integrate the fields of ethnomusicology and Indian Ocean studies. Drawing on historical and ethnographic approaches, the book explores what music reveals about mobility, diaspora, colonialism, religious networks, media, and performance. Collectively, the chapters examine different ways the Indian Ocean might be "heard" outside of a reliance on colonial archives and elite textual traditions, integrating methods from music and sound studies into the history and anthropology of the region. Challenging the area studies paradigm-which has long cast Africa, the Middle East, and Asia as separate musical cultures-the book shows how music both forms and crosses boundaries in the Indian Ocean world.

The authors are honest about the issues facing musicians in today’s changing world, but they provide ample thoughts on what can be done through transformative, holistic musical development. This isn’t a resource for pianists, or violinists, or composers; it is a resource for all musicians, especially those transitioning from student to professional. —Nicholas Phillips, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, WI, USA “A brilliant book that finally addresses the modern landscape of a career in classical music.” —Dr. Donna Lee, Professor and Coordinator of Piano Division at Kent State University. “This is an excellent textbook to inspire music instructors, career advisors, counselors, and their students. The book presents a wide variety of interviews with renowned musicians and they share the fascinating details of their unique approaches to mentoring. These unique life stories kept me engaged throughout.” —Dr. Yumiko Oshima-Ryan, Professor of Piano, Gustavus Adolphus College Designed as a practical resource, this book examines transformational and inclusive approaches to the teaching of music at the postsecondary level based on first-person interviews with renowned musicians and their students. At the heart of the study are musical/artistic perspectives and pedagogical approaches from leading artists and the insights of their students on the impact of the teaching and mentoring process. Through case studies with renowned musicians and their protégés, the book identifies common themes in teaching and mentoring across classical and jazz performance. Each case study is a master class with the artist that offers insight into the evolution of the individual’s musical career, their approach to teaching, and specific strategies for navigating the complexities of the music business environment. With remarkable candor, artists and their protégés share how they navigated significant obstacles in their career journeys. Including overcoming performance anxiety, disability and injury, lack of financial support, difficulty obtaining an agent and recording contracts, country location and stereotypes based on gender and nationality. The book serves as an important resource for music educators by offering concrete approaches to mentoring talented students, while also sharing specific strategies for aspiring professional musicians seeking to forge a career in a highly competitive musical market.
