    9. Making music that matters: The book! Solo episode
    2025/10/21

    In this special solo episode, Melissa announces the publication of her new book, "Making Music That Matters: Positive Music Leadership for Social Health". She explores how musicians can address the crisis of social connection through community music-making, offering evidence-based frameworks for building meaningful careers whilst fostering social health and wellbeing.

    "This book is my attempt to bridge two realities—to show that there's a way to have a fulfilling, sustainable career in music whilst also addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the loss of human connection."

    Endorsements

    Professor Kim S. Cameron (University of Michigan) "This wonderfully creative book shows how music transforms lives, teams, organizations, and society."

    Dr Dave Camlin (Trinity Laban, UK) "An essential read for emerging music leaders to help make sense of the complex and exciting traditions of socially transformational music making."

    Professor Alexandra Lamont (University of Queensland) "Well-researched and theoretically-grounded ... explores the less-well studied worlds of those who lead and facilitate democratic participatory music making."
