It is an example of how applying a reflective process to research data might provide the profession with both practical and philosophical insights. - Frank Heuser, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Communities of Musical Practice by Ailbhe Kenny provides an in-depth and invaluable insight into 'situated' collaborative music-making practices on the ground in Ireland. (...) The real value in this study is in its in-depth look beyond the pervasive, primarily quantitative research emphases on the economic value of the arts to society, in terms of supply and demand, regeneration of communities, and tourism. (...) One of the book's great strengths lies in the author's analysis, within a qualitative case study approach, which highlights the importance of engaging in research not to measure, but to 'capture' the complexities of multiple viewpoints in different contexts and genres. (...) This study makes a valuable contribution to the field of music education, community music and ongoing debates regarding the social impact and value of arts and culture in our society. - FRAN GARRY, Irish Journal of Arts Management & Cultural Policy, 2016/17, Volume 4
