Good Vibrations: positive change through social music-making
David Wilson, Laura Caulfield, Jennie Henley and Dean Wilkinson, ‘Good Vibrations: positive change through social music-making’, in: Music Education Research (August 2012)
This article presents the findings of the study, and considers why Good Vibrations inspires positive change. Using a three-dimensional model of Activity Theory, the concept of learning through social music-making is explored in terms of how the individual interacts with the social environment in order to develop skills and how participation in a musical learning activity can lead to a positive change of identity.
