The interaction between musical identities and learning music highlights school music education's potential contributions and responsibilities, especially in supporting young people's mental health and well-being. Through the distinctive stories and drawings of Aaron, Blake, Conor, Elijah, Michael, and Tyler, this book reveals the musical identities of teenage boys in their final year of study at an Australian boys' school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text serves as an interface between music, education, and psychology using narrative inquiry. Previous research in music education often seeks to generalise boys, whereas this study recognises and celebrates the diverse individual voices of students where music plays a significant role in their lives. Adolescent boys' musical identities are examined using the theories of identity work and possible selves, and their underlying music values and uses are considered important guiding principles and motivating goals in their identity construction. A teaching and learning framework to shape and support multiple musical identities in senior secondary class music is presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relatable and personal stories in this book will appeal to a broad readership, including music teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and readers interested in the role of music in our lives. Creative and arts-based research methods, including narrative inquiry and innovative draw and tell interviews, will be particularly relevant for research method courses and postgraduate research students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Goopy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103257321X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032573212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Jason Goopy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175775744255,"sku":"9781032573212","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eeef9c5b-e1c5-4aef-965f-b8e8cc2725b9.jpg?v=1771335830","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teenage-boys-musical-identities-and-jason-goopy-9781032573212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
