The Oxford Handbook of Music and Disability Studies is a ground-breaking contribution to the field of cultural disability studies and to the recent arrival of musicology within this field of study. This publication is a must for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the representation of disability in music. Readers interested in the participation of disabled people in music-making (rather than in cultural representations of impairments) will find a valuable number of essays. And, finally, those interested in the perspectives that impaired musicians can offer about their embodiments, and in research that promotes their inclusion in musicmaking, will also find valuable contributions. --Context [T]he Handbook encompasses an impressive assemblage of historical and current musical contexts, artists, and audiences. It is a breakthrough endeavor and opens the door, certainly, for the many scholars now beginning this work. As its editors suggest, it should encourage music scholars to consider cultural concepts of disability, and disability studies scholars to remember the significance of music in experiences of disability. We all have much to teach each other. --Disability Studies Quarterly Academics, students, and interested parties in both music and disability studies will find valuable information here; several of the essays may also interest historians in related fields or teachers seeking to help disabled students participate fully in music or discover a creative and communicative outlet. Its timely contribution to both fields cannot go overlooked. --Journal of Musicological Research
