Research Project
You are invited to take part in a research project about
musical identities. In particular, we are interested in finding out how
contemporary socio-cultural factors influence the development of musical
identities in adults, and the impact this has on musical engagement. The study
is being conducted by Dr Amanda Krause (James Cook University) and Dr Melissa
Forbes (University of Southern Queensland).
If you have any questions about the study, please contact Dr
Amanda Krause or Dr Melissa Forbes.
