'My Favorite Song': understanding a music learning ecology of children from interaction among media, family and school contexts. Issue 2 (17th May 2019) - Ocaña-Fernández, Almudena
Abstract: In the present case study, we used observation and interviews to investigate the musical experience of a group of children of 3–4 years old. We look into the uniqueness of music in the child's environment which belongs to the media, family and school contexts. The present study allows us to understand some implications of musical experiences for building social identity and the need to link formal music learning processes with those taking place in non-formal and informal spaces. Through this paper, we provide a vicarious experience that will enable the reader to understand our findings and raise new questions and interpretations.
