What is Music Mediation?

Abstract

The article addresses the question of what is actually meant by music mediation. We de-fine music mediation as a broadly diversified artistic-educational practice that fosters diverse relationships between people and music, and subsequently discuss formats, con-texts, and stakeholders involved. After a brief historical excursion, we delve into music mediation as a professional field, debate existing definitions, and conclude the article with an overview of music mediation as a research field.
