 bined with transformative experience and positive youth development framew
 orks\, it turns music learning into meaningful\, participatory actions fro
 m which young people derive a sense of connection\, purpose\, fulfilment\,
  and wellbeing. I will present findings from recent research that demonstr
 ates how we might involve youth in transformative music experiences\, how 
 to recognise affordances and constraints to music learning\, and how to me
 asure associated learning outcomes\, such as increased valuing of music ac
 tivities\, personal and social commitment to music learning\, and respect 
 for others’ learning. There is growing momentum among music educators th
 at recognises the need to empower music learners and encourage active inqu
 iry\, dialogue and reflection to inspire expansive music learning opportun
