Abstract
Abstract This chapter sketches out some of the challenges and opportunities facing qualitative research in music education. It proposes seven future directions: “strong purposes,” in which qualitative research will attain greater clarity in aligning research activities with wisely chosen and pressing aims; “strong footings,” in which it will attend more closely to the epistemological coherence of theoretical and analytical frameworks; “new realms,” in which it will situate inquiry in new contexts, engaging new voices, and pursuing compelling new realms of study; “new affordances,” in which it will utilize new affordances of technology and social media as strategic tools and environments for qualitative work; “resonance and rigor,” in which it will seek greater resonance and rigor through attending to writing and scholarly critique; “community,” in which it will integrate the community of qualitative researchers in order to build professional capacity and collaborative power; and “expanding the reach” of its impact on practitioners, scholars, and communities.
