Music and Human Beings
About
Environment information
Music and Human Beings studies the relationship to music – as an individual, social and cultural phenomenon. Research within the environment deals with the role of music in both everyday and institutional contexts, among young people and adults, professionals and amateurs, and in all forms of music performance and use.
Our research moves in problem areas such as music, experience and experience; music, equality and justice; music and media; music, education and training, as well as musical creation. Characteristic of our research is the relationship between music, man and society, and between music and the individual. Music and Human Beings is an interdisciplinary environment characterized by a multidisciplinary perspective, where social science and humanistic approaches meet.
