Abstract
In this article, I present a lesson plan taken from one of the sessions of an undergraduate module titled Music, Technology and Everyday Life. The lesson plan is on Music Fanzines. Students are introduced to key scholarly themes around zine-making during a one-hour lecture, and during the seminar they work towards the production of their own music fanzine. Through this process, students are encouraged to reflect on the practice of zine-making from the perspective of the participant, in close dialogue with scholarly literature, and learn about music culture by becoming part of music culture.
