This research project concerned musical identities. In particular, we were 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 was 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.
