Book Review: Raymond A. R. MacDonald and Graeme B. Wilson. The art of becoming: How group improvisation works

thinking about knowledge and research methods and uncertainties about “getting it right.” That is not to say that the book lacks reflective scrutiny. By contrast, in discussing advantages and disadvantages of approaches, and highlighting important developments such as the replication crisis and open access publication, it provides a fruitful basis for these discussions to be promoted in the teaching contexts where this book is used. In conclusion, I am convinced that this book will support the teaching of empirical research techniques at conservatoires and in music programs across the world, and as such will help to further this flourishing area of research from its foundations upward.
