Living within state care can have detrimental effects on children’s development, as substantial research has proposed. Recognising how music-making may support children’s social, emotional and personal development, many cultural organisations have begun developing music projects that work specifically with care-experienced children. Although evaluation has detailed the various benefits these projects may have, there has been little research into the approaches employed by the facilitators who deliver these projects. With this in mind, this article examines a community music project that focused on foster family music-making. It explores the facilitators’ social pedagogical approach to music-making and the benefits participants report they have gained from the project, both to themselves and the children in their care.

在早期与有护理经验的儿童及其家人一起进行音乐工作

正如大量研究表明的那样，生活在国家照顾范围内会对儿童的发展产生不利影响。认识到音乐制作可以如何支持儿童的社交、情感和个人发展，许多文化组织已经开始开发专门针对有护理经历的儿童的音乐项目。尽管评估详细说明了这些项目可能带来的各种好处，但对交付这些项目的促进者所采用的方法的研究却很少。考虑到这一点，本文研究了一个专注于寄养家庭音乐制作的社区音乐项目。它探讨了促进者对音乐制作的社会教学方法，以及参与者报告的他们从该项目中获得的好处，包括对他们自己和他们照顾的孩子的好处。
