Summary "The intention behind this book is to bring together two fields: music making and organisation theory, in order to explore what might be learned. Learning may proceed in various directions within and between the fields. Within fields we are concerned with learning between alternative traditions and genres. For example, the learning between punk and indie music might entail small-scale translation whereas ideas moving between large classical orchestras and small folk bands may need considerable adaptation"-- Provided by publisher
