Papageorgiou, P. (2023). Music of the world’s cultures and feelings of connectedness: Interpersonal and social aspects of elementary school children’s participation in a culturally diverse music program. International Journal of Education & the Arts, 24(17)
This ethnographic study explores how elementary school children’s participation in a culturally diverse music program, which featured their active engagement in group music-making and their acquaintance with the cultural-historical context of the music, affected them on interpersonal, collective, and social levels. The study focuses on the feelings of connectedness that the children experienced with their classmates, with the teacher-researcher, and with the people whose musical cultures they studied. The research involved fifth- and sixth-graders from two Greek elementary schools.
