Finney (music education, U. of Cambridge, UK) and Laurence (music education, Newcastle U., UK) bring together new music educators and researchers from the UK and Canada for 17 chapters that share their research to explain research issues and processes to students and music educators. They describe the music teacher as a researcher, methodology, and aspects of research design, including the literature review, ethics, survey methodology, narrative inquiry, and questionnaires. They also discuss teachers and students exploring together through collaborative research, pupil consultation, and research on developing positive attitudes towards singing; understanding students' musical lives in and out of school, with discussion of self-efficacy and musical identities, an afterschool rock school, composition, and engagement; and research on world music.
