Abstract

The author, born in Detroit in 1943, presents a survey of the musical life of that city, roughly in the time of his youth. Starting with personal grounding, the article lays out factual information about the training of musicians in the public schools and the musical life of subcultures, then concludes with a return to the individual’s perspective through considering how music is available— physically, psychologically—to people in a metropolis.
