This open access book presents evidence-based participant and facilitator perspectives on later-life music learning and participation. The chapters explore the principles and practices that can facilitate and support meaningful music-making in a range of non-formal later-life contexts, highlighting consistent as well as context-specific pedagogical issues. Case study examples are used to examine issues relating to pedagogy as improvisation, the use of technology to support creativity and meaningful music experience, facilitation of the use of music for creativity, sense of belonging, musical identities and musical development in later-life, and more. The book concludes with an innovative and creative pedagogical model to support critical reflection on values, frameworks, and practices in later-life music learning and participation. The book will be accessible and relevant for music researchers and educators, music education students and community music leaders alike.
