"[T]angible developments [in community music] have fuelled a growing appetite for new and dynamic resources that both respond to and propel these international developments. Engaging in Community Music: An Introduction quenches that appetite in abundance. It promises to satisfy those readers seeking to develop new perspectives and insights, those seeking inspiration and frameworks, and above all, those looking to further their knowledge and practice in this growing field of community music."
