Book SynopsisThis book examines the ways in which faculty and staff at the higher education level teach and communicate with their millennial students and colleagues. The contributors address how millennials'' academic and non-academic interests and everyday performances within and outside of higher education influence how faculty and staff communicate with them. This book delves into how millennials can become more adaptable in their communication with others in society especially in higher education, be it from different generations, or cultures that may or may not communicate the way they do. The contributors argue that millennial culture should be carefully studied by instructors, researchers, and administrators to create a better classroom and educational experience and also improve the level of communication among these constituencies. Trade ReviewBuilding from the premise that the Millennial Generation has experienced unprecedented global change, the essays in Millennial Generation and Pedagogy brilliantly complicate our understandings of this population of students, some of whom are now emerging faculty. Authors write from their personal experience of being a Millennial or having taught Millennial students. Anyone who has a stake in developing an intersectional approach to teaching and mentoring must read this book. -- Alberto González, Bowling Green State UniversityThis is an insightful and useful collection of essays that productively engage and apply communication theory to better understand and engage millennials--as students and as colleagues. When it is so easy to shore up stereotypes about this generation, these scholars take millennials seriously as meaningful participants in teaching and learning, as people constituted in enduring and complex cultural relationships who are capable of agency and action. Readers who are researchers will find avenues for continued and increasingly nuanced investigation; readers who are teachers will find paths forward in mutual understanding and dialogue; and readers who are students will find themselves better prepared to engage in conversations about (and resist mischaracterizations of) who they are and can become in the world. -- Deanna L.

Book SynopsisThe teaching and learning of music around the world have evolved in diverse ways as social, industrial, and cultural developments have influenced the ways humans understand, organize, and collectivize music education. Revolutions in Music Education: Historical and Social Explorations chronicles major changes in music education that continue to shape practices in the twenty-first century. The contributors investigate the organizational, pedagogical, and strategic approaches to teaching music across the ages. The universality of music is manifest in the chapters of this book, providing meaning and insight from all geographic, socio-political, and economic contexts. Trade Review"Revolutions in Music Education details historical landmarks that continue to influence music teaching and learning throughout the world. Individual chapters provide explicit detail and place each topic within its cultural context by synthesizing extant literature and providing new information based on primary sources. The remarkable organization of the book illuminates the connections among seemingly singular innovations in the complex and ever-growing web of music pedagogy today. This book will serve as a valuable resource for music education scholars and for anyone wanting to know more about the development of the field." -- Phillip M. Hash, Illinois State University“This unique exposé explores key moments in music education through the lens of western music history. Building on the legacy of Eurocentric traditions, the authors acknowledge the influence of jazz, popular culture, and digital technology as music education evolves into a more inclusive and accessible discipline for students of this century.” -- Lee Willingham, Wilfrid Laurier University"Revolutions in Music Education is a most welcomed and valuable contribution to the discipline of music education. The approach of the editors in the conceptualising and organisation of this collection is elegant. The 'revolutionary idea' is central to each of the insightful, considered, illuminating, and provocative individual contributions. While many are focused on music education as a revolution in the primary and secondary school classroom, they are applicable to the broader discipline and educational context. Through the narratives on what has happened historically, this collection becomes a great asset for advocacy and future developments." -- David Forrest, RMIT UniversityTable of ContentsForeword—Howard GoodallIntroductionPart 1: The Great Leap Forward—Early Traditions: Cultural, Environmental, and Developing MethodsChapter 1: Moveable ‘Do’, Sol-Fa and Vertical Ladders: Guido to Glover to Curwen to KodályJane SouthcottChapter 2: The Role of the Cantor in the Performance of Liturgy: Council of Laodicea in the Mid-Fourth Century to Guido of Arezzo (C.990–C.1040)Carol WilliamsChapter 3: Orff’s Schulwerk: Gestation, Interruption, Revival, and DisseminationJane Southcott and Andrew SutherlandChapter 4: Shinichi Suzuki and Talent Education: From Beginnings in Japan to the USA and the WorldJane SouthcottChapter 5: Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and the Movement of MusicKarin GreenheadPart 2: Influences of Cultural Shifts in Society on Teaching and LearningChapter 6: Jazz Education: Revolution or Devolution?
