"The authors and editors of this text consider the constructions of (dis)ability, inclusive curriculum design, and perspectives/approaches of disabled people in, through, and around music. In doing so, they demonstrate a “disabled turn” in music education scholarship. This turn is facilitated through the use of theoretical frames drawn from disability studies and related fields. The authors provide a mix of the empirical, theoretical, and practical and may well become a foundational text for its mix of contemporary disability theorization, attention to performativities, and expansive epistemological orientation in, through, and around music."
