Education, Music, and the Lives of Undergraduates
«The thought-provoking stories and careful analysis by Mantie and Talbot will undoubtedly be of interest to vocal music educators, current or previous members of a cappella groups, or those interested in popular music pedagogies while also resonating with music educators unfamiliar with the collegiate a cappella tradition. K–12 music educators, researchers, and teacher educators who are curious about how students make sense of the ensemble experience, both within and outside of the rehearsals, will also be drawn to this book.»

«In this fascinating and eminently readable ethnomusicological documentary about the serious music-making practices of university singers, Mantie and Talbot shine a bright light on the power, privilege, patriarchy, and passion that characterize collegiate a capella, which is, ultimately, about fulfilment, family, and fun.»
Gareth Dylan Smith, Assistant Professor of Music, Boston University, USA
«A thought-provokingly brilliant, long-awaited and insightful understanding of the socio-cultural phenomenon of collegiate a cappella. A must-read for all involved and/or interested in elective music performance practices outside the classroom on university campuses.»
Pamela Burnard, Professor of Arts, Creativities and Educations, University of Cambridge, UK
«Drawing from numerous interviews with undergraduate singers, Mantie and Talbot capture the rich complexities of the collegiate a cappella world to see what’s really “beneath the covers” of the songs shaping participants’ musical and social experiences. The authors get to the heart of the undergraduates’ lifeworlds through a cappella, what they get out of it, and how they continue to create meaning (and sometimes, music) from their experiences when they leave college. Connecting experiences to theory, this book tells the story of how undergraduates aca-navigate (the act of navigating through a cappella) high musical standards, relationships, leisure, and belonging, while reinforcing the hierarchies of gender, sexuality, class, and the capital that accompany and further them in the collegiate terrain and beyond. It is a striking, must-read for any sociologist, musicologist, music educator, or a cappella enthusiast.»
Cara Bernard, Assistant Clinical Professor of Music Education, University of Connecticut, USA
«An engaging, evocative account of US collegiate singing groups, which draws the reader into the heart of the debates on equality, access and purpose facing music education today.»
Stephanie Pitts, Professor of Music Education, University of Sheffield, UK
