"’In this rich account Avra Pieridou Skoutella taps into the musical worlds of children in ways that add new dimensions to the nascent field of research on children’s socio-musical development. The many tales she tells bring to life children’s musical understanding and experiences, their musical tastes, values and practices, the distinctions and boundaries children draw between fine gradients of musical style, genre and connotation: and all told through the children’s own words ... But this book’s contribution doesn’t stop there, for the author adds an interpretive layer to all this ... Here is a book set, as the title suggests, in the ""small worlds"" of what is a ""small country"". But the issues it raises are big, transcending any one geographical or historical setting. May adults long continue to learn from children in the way that this book makes possible. We have so much to learn’. From the Foreword by Lucy Green, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"
