Indiana University Press Humane Music Education for the Common Good
Book SynopsisWhy teach music? Who deserves a music education? Can making and learning about music contribute to the common good? In Humane Music Education for the Common Good, scholars and educators from around the world offer unique responses to the recent UNESCO report titled Rethinking Education: Toward the Common Good. This report suggests how, through purpose, policy, and pedagogy, education can and must respond to the challenges of our day in ways that respect and nurture all members of the human family. The contributors to this volume use this report as a framework to explore the implications and complexities that it raises. The book begins with analytical reflections on the report and then explores pedagogical case studies and practical models of music education that address social justice, inclusion, individual nurturance, and active involvement in the greater public welfare. The collection concludes by looking to the future, asking what more should be considered, and exploring how these iTrade ReviewA valuable contribution to the field of music education -- Gaylyn Foxworthy - Interlochen Center for the Arts * Music Reference Services Quarterly *Table of ContentsIntroduction / Iris M.

Book SynopsisWhat values should form the foundation of music education? And once we decide on those values, how do we ensure we are acting on them?In Values and Music Education, esteemed author Estelle R. Jorgensen explores how values apply to the practice of music education. We may declare values, but they can be hard to see in action. Jorgensen examines nine quartets of related values and offers readers a roadmap for thinking constructively and critically about the values they hold. In doing so, she takes a broad view of both music and education while drawing on a wide sweep of multidisciplinary literature. Not only does Jorgensen demonstrate an analytical and dialectical philosophical approach to examining values, but she also seeks to show how theoretical and practical issues are interconnected. An important addition to the field of music education, Values and Music Education highlights values that have been forgotten or marginalized, underscores those that seem perennial, and illustrates howTrade Review"No contemporary philosopher of the arts and education can write with the depth of insight and the breadth of vision that Estelle R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Whats So Important About Music Education
Book SynopsisWhat's So Important About Music Education? presents a new philosophy of music education for the United States, rooted in history and current perspectives from ethnomusicology. J. Scott Goble explores the societal effects of the nation''s foundations in democracy and capitalism, the constitutional separation of church and state, and the rise of recording, broadcast, and computer technologies. He shows how these and other factors have brought about changes in the ways music teachers and concerned others have conceptualized music and its importance in education. In demonstrating how many of the personal and societal benefits of musical engagement have come to be obscured in the nation's increasingly diverse public forum, Goble argues for the importance of musical engagement in human life and for the importance of music in education. An ideal text for courses in music education foundations, the book concludes with recommendations for teaching the musical practices of the nationTrade Review"What’s So Important About Music Education? is a thoroughly engaging, insightful, and detailed exploration of the history, philosophy, and significance of music education . . . This is unquestionably a valuable book that every serious music student, teacher, and school administrator should read. . . . Truly admirable and inspiring. . . . Goble has presented a new – and perhaps even inevitable – direction for American music schools in the twenty-first century. Let us hope that the nation’s music educators, as well as the general public, will embrace and choose to strongly support Goble’s challenge. It is a positive and essential change that our democratic society truly deserves."– Ernest Kramer, Teachers College Record"A rich text that seeks to address some of the most difficult questions in music education. Its primary purpose of promoting intercultural understanding is deeply admirable, its superb organization and range of ideas make it a most compelling book . . . Although written for music educators in the United States, it will just as easily be of interest to readers from other countries with diverse communities." – Leonard Tan, Philosophy of Music Education Review"For me, dedicated to the historicity of disciplinarity, Goble’s study . . . of the intellectual history of music education in the United States . . . is exemplary."– William Pinar, Conversations on Curriculum & Pedagogy"Goble . . . provides a philosophical, historical, pragmatic study of the public school music curriculum as it relates to the new diverse student population. This resource gives readers a perspective on the development of past curricula and provides them with guidance going forward. . . .
