Music for Engaging Young People in Education
Cheong-Clinch, Carmen
Youth Studies Australia, v28 n2 p50-57 Jun 2009
Two music programs were developed specifically to meet therapeutic objectives for newly arrived immigrant and refugee students and for adolescent boys in a residential care facility. The author's observations justify further research to establish whether music can support and nurture the social, physical and mental wellbeing of young people, particularly those who are vulnerable and at risk.
