This volume provides an understanding of various research methodologies that have been used in music education projects. These methodologies include: historical research; quantitative research; narrative inquiry; action research; ethnography; case study; interpretative phenomenological analysis; arts-based methods; and mixed methods. Each of these research methodologies is detailed, before examples of music education projects that have used these methodologies are described. A separate chapter is devoted to each methodology, and each chapter has been written by a researcher with extensive experience and knowledge of the methodology in question. The book project is an initiative of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Research in Music Education (ANZARME).This association is the peak body for music research across the two countries. ANZARME promotes and supports all styles of research in all avenues of music education. The book will assist all those who are undertaking research in music education, particularly future researchers in music education, such as postgraduate research students. The text will assist researchers in understanding the many available research methods, and will provide clarity in choosing the most appropriate method for their particular research.

Performing Music Research is a comprehensive guide to planning, conducting, analyzing, and communicating research in music performance. The book examines the approaches and strategies that underpin research in music education, psychology, and performance science.

Tittle - Simplifying Research in Music * Author- Samidha Vedabala * Publisher- Wizard Publisher * Book Details:- * ISBN-978-81-949076-4-0 * Size- 15.24 X 22.86 X 4 CM * About the book:- Very few people knew that I am writing this book. Even I could not imagine that I will come up with such a book so early. As always, there are few people behind a person who do the things. I, first of all, will mention those three people. Firstly, Himanshu, my husband, this is his idea. It was just a few months back when the research methodology lectures started around March. I was making my notes for class. He said, “Write every lecture in detail; you can make it a book later”. I didn’t know this can be materialized in July. Secondly, my Guruji Pandit Sanjoy Bandopadhyay, who is always an inspiration for almost everything in my life. He deserves special thanks as he only had confidence (which I didn’t have) on me. Thirdly, Dr Krishnendu Dutta, My colleague at Sikkim University. He has just blind confidence in me. He only asked me to do it just now. And I did; thank You Sir! The time when this book was being written was tough in every one’s life. India was fighting with the second wave of COVID-19. With lots of stress and worry of losing one of the dearest members of the family, sometimes I was writing with tears in my eyes. In this journey, two of my dearest students Manisha and Saraswati, who were with me for almost three months, have helped me a lot in nearly everything. They are the witness of all the sentences/pages I was improving. Every diagram I was doing. Thanks a lot, Dear!. God bless you. My mother and sister were worrying every day about how will I finish my work. My MPhil and PhD student. Who unknowingly are the very first inspiration for this book to happen. And to my little sitar student Shradha Sharma who has designed the cover page. Special thanks to the wizard publisher especially Saiyed Junaid, to bear with my delay submitting the manuscript and materializing it.

The Handbook of Qualitative Research in American Music Education is a resource for music education researchers, music education graduate students, and P-16 music teachers. Qualitative research has become an increasingly popular research approach in music education in the last 20 years and until now there has been no source that clarifies terms, challenges, and issues in qualitative research for music education. This Handbook provides that clarification and presents model qualitative studies within the various music education disciplines. The first section of the text defines qualitative research, provides a history of qualitative research in music education, clarifies epistemological foundations and theoretical frameworks and addresses quality in qualitative research. The approaches of case study, ethnography, phenomenology, narrative, and practitioner inquiry are addressed in the second section. Part III examines data collection and analysis with regard to observations, interviews, documents and multi-media data. Within the 11 chapters in the fourth part of the book authors provide syntheses of qualitative research within various areas of music education (i.e., early childhood, strings, and teacher education). The final part of the book examines technology, rigor, ethics, and the future of qualitative research.
