Engaging Children in Music-Making: A Feasibility Study Using Disabled Musicians as Mentors in Primary Schools
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Thank you for submitting an interesting, well written article on the engagement of children in music making. The participation of young people with disabilities makes this study unique. The article clearly describes the context in which the study has been conducted. The research design could have been described more clearly. What instruments have been used when? Plus, how has the data been analyzed? This applies especially to the qualitative data collection. By the way: I probably missed the meaning of F1, PH, HT, et cetera.
