ABSTRACT
This chapter has music and ethics in real-life encounters at its very core. The introduction offers a brief account of the notions, music, music-ing, and musicking. Then follows the musical ethics relationship before providing practical examples of music and ethics in real-life music encounters. Different roles and arenas are illustrated and explored through various music practices: (1) The musician: ethics in performance, (2) The music educator: ethics in teaching, (3) The music therapist: ethics in therapy, (4) The musicologist: ethics in theory-building, (5) The ‘lay’ musician: ethics in everyday musicking, and (6) The music researcher: ethics in research. The illustrative examples follow the same structure focusing on ethical problems, ethical dilemmas, and unpleasant experiences, in addition to suggested strategies for training music students within the various fields of ethical music professionalism. The examples illustrate that problems, dilemmas, and unpleasant experiences might be similar but diverse to the different music roles, arenas, and contexts, in both the music and ethics encounters and professional training.
