Abstract

This Autoethnographical research study explores how my musical background, learning and teaching, music making abilities and skills, have formed my current self as musician, teacher and researcher. It was found that my interests and methods of interpretations I practice in the field of multicultural music are influenced and formulated through my appreciation, understandings and beliefs gained from education and they are shaped by the social context, cultural placing, and life experiences.
