"Music education researchers who are looking to understand the "dim secrets that startle our wonder" look to qualitative research. Approaches to Qualitative Research: An Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education is a resource for music education researchers, music education graduate students, and P-16 music teachers. I begin this Preface by locating qualitative research in music education within the larger field of qualitative research in social sciences and humanities research, within qualitative research in education, and within music education research in general"-- Provided by publisher New in paperback, the articles collected in Models of Qualitative Research examine the use of qualitative research in answering important research questions regarding music teaching and learning in a variety of diverse music education contexts. Each author examines key studies and provides suggestions for future questions that qualitative researchers may consider. Contexts examined in the chapter include: early childhood music, general music, instrumental music -winds, brass percussion, instrumental music-strings, choral music, preservice teacher education, teacher professional development, community music education, music for students with special needs, music education and issues of diversity, and world music. Models of Qualitative Research is the third of three paperback volumes derived from the original Oxford Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education, which outlines the history of qualitative research in music education and explores the contemporary use of qualitative approaches in examining issues related to music teaching and learning.
