The book uses the metaphor of ‘double games’ to critically analyse how music education, as a series of games, is played. Examining the intertwinement of social power with players’ belief in the purity of their game, and of material with symbolic economies, the authors unravel the complex social dynamics of musical upbringing and socialisation. -- .
