Abstract
Sounds of Home brings together research on local music collecting and collections in Canada. Local music collections document music scenes, practices, or histories, which are also bounded to a delimited geographic area. Using semi-structured qualitative interviews and site visits, we are building an understanding of practitioner beliefs, values, and challenges. This data collection method is useful because participants have flexibility to express ideas in their own words, offering comparable qualitative data of lived experiences and viewpoints. The data reveal narratives surrounding relationships between public organizations and local music communities, diversity of local music scenes, and areas for professional responsibility.
