Professor Katrina McFerran is a music therapy scholar specialising
in music and young people. She is Director of the National Creative
Arts and Music Therapy Research Unit at the University of Melbourne
in Australia, and Chair of the World Federation of Music Therapy's
Research and Ethics Commission. Her research is diverse and
includes collaborative and participatory approaches that seek to
understand how young people can draw upon their
relationships with music to feel better. She is creator of the
Massive Open Online Course 'How Music Can Change Your Life' through
Coursera and has created a TEDx Talk on Coming Back from the Dark
Side with Music. She has
also published more than 90 journal articles, 4 books and 24 book
chapters and is regularly invited to speak at conferences, symposia
and universities around the world. Dr Philippa Derrington has led
the MSc Music Therapy programme at Queen Margaret University,
Edinburgh in Scotland, UK since 2013. She has practiced as a music
therapist for many years with adults, children and adolescents, and
in a variety of health and education settings. She is a passionate
advocate for the
development and promotion of music therapy especially within
mainstream schools and this continues to be her main area for
research. She has published her work and presented at many
conferences nationally and
internationally. She also works as a clinical and research
supervisor and is an editor of British Journal of Music Therapy. Dr
Suvi Saarikallio specializes in music as part of adolescents'
psychological development and wellbeing in everyday life. She has
PhD in Music Education (2007) and Title of Docent in Psychology
(2014). She conducts multidisciplinary research from music
cognition to music therapy, using methods from qualitative theory
development to motion
capture, neural measures, and psychometrics. She has published over
50 peer-reviewed papers in journals and conference proceedings and
her recent research projects have involved topics like
Music-related emotional competence and
adolescent mental health, (Academy of Finland 2010-2016) and Affect
from Art (Kone Foundation, 2015-2017). Saarikallio currently works
as a senior researcher and Vice-Head of Department (Head of
Research) at the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies and
Finnish Center for Interdisciplinary Music Research, University of
Jyväskylä, Finland.
It is really refreshing to see the inclusion of topics, such as,
disability, gender and sexuality, and sexual violence, that have
been under-represented in mainstream texts. A read of the
'acknowledgements, hopes and dreams' section shows that this was a
concerted effort on the part of the editors to redress the balance
of findings towards more inclusivity and diversity. This is
something we should celebrate, and I hope we see more initiatives
like this in future collections. The result is a book that manages
to possess both breadth and depth. It is interesting, topical, and
accessible. As such, it will appeal to a broad cross-section of
practitioners working with young people, and scholars researching
adolescents' musical lives.
