Education Music and the Lives of Undergraduates: Collegiate A Cappella and the Pursuit of Happiness
English | ISBN: 1350169226 | 2020 | 184 pages | PDF | 1 MB
The undergraduate years are a special time of life for many students. They are a time for study, yes, but also a time for making independent decisions over what to do beyond formal education. This book is based on a nine-year study of collegiate a cappella - a socio-musical practice that has exploded on college campuses since the 1990s. A defining feature of collegiate a cappella is that it is a student-run leisure activity undertaken by undergraduate students at institutions both large and small, prestigious and lower-status.
