imagine 2026

imagine 2026 explores With and For Children: Inviting Participation in Early Childhood Music Therapy. Across 134 interactive pages, readers discover what it means to recognize young children as rights-holders and active participants—not simply recipients of services. Policy, research, and practice come together to examine how children express preferences, make choices, build relationships, and shape music therapy experiences.

Explore international perspectives on child agency, consent and assent, belonging, and shared decision-making, alongside practical examples that support meaningful participation while honoring each child’s abilities, culture, and ways of communicating. imagine 2026 invites readers to reflect on one essential question: Are we making music for children, or creating music with them?
