Implications for research and practice 2

In this chapter, we first outline some current prominent debates and themes concerning music psychology in education and the community. We then consider some specific implications for practice that have emerged from individual chapters and from the volume as a whole. We begin with a caveat. As we write, we are navigating the COVID- 19 pandemic, which has certainly had (and will continue to have) far- reaching consequences in music education and music in the community. The key issues that emerge from the chapters will take on new significance (more or less) in the shadow of the pandemic, and many unintended or unexpected implications for practice are certain to arise. We discuss this in more detail in Chapter 28, while focusing in this chapter on the key messages that have emerged from chapters written in a pre- pandemic world.
