Summary:

Musical talent in Western culture is regarded as an extraordinary combination of technical proficiency and interpretative sensitivity. In Music, Disability, and Society, Alex Lubet challenges the rigid view of technical skill and writes about music in relation to disability studies. He addresses the ways in which people with disabilities are denied the opportunity to participate in music.Elaborating on the theory of ""social confluence,"" Lubet provides a variety of encounters between disability and music to observe radical transformations of identity.
