""In this deft and convincing study, Josephine Miller sets out to describe the process by which traditional music is being taught and learned in community settings in Scotland in the twenty-first century. This is achieved through a nuanced layering of extant educational theory and ethnographic data gathering, including interviews, observations, and detailed, thick descriptions of the setting… There are chapters here that provide an opportunity for the interested folk musician, whether learner or tutor, to reflect on and inform their own practice. And for those making any kind of study of post-revival folk music education the book can be added straight to the list of compulsory reading."" Matt Price, Folk Music Journal
