DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores research dedicated to adult music learni
 ng across the lifespan and music making experiences in community contexts.
  Previous research has shown that music participation can contribute to th
 e quality of life among aging and older adults\, and that several of the s
 tereotypes once associated with the aging process have been reexamined. Pa
 rticipation in community ensembles designed for adults and intergeneration
 al learners have been linked to enhanced self-confidence\, identity\, and 
 a sense of purpose. Still\, music educators continue to search for ways to
  involve adults in meaningful musical endeavors. These and other considera
 tions might contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the ways i
 n which individuals participate in musical experiences across their life\,
  and how tenets of healthy aging can be applied to music education.\n\n*Na
 than B. Kruse* is Associate Professor of Music Education and Coordinator o
 f Graduate Studies in Music Education at Case Western Reserve University i
 n Cleveland\, Ohio. He teaches courses in research methods\, music cogniti
 on and learning\, vernacular music\, and classroom guitar. Kruse’s resea
 rch interests include adult music education and lifespan learning\, ethnog
 raphic traditions of community music\, and school-university partnerships.
  He earned a B.M.E. from Butler University\, an M.M. in Music Education fr
 om the University of New Mexico\, and a Ph.D. in Music Education from Mich
 igan State University.\n
