Book Description
About The Book

This book examines the nature and significance of music and music education. Through the development of critical discussions and practical principles, it aims to construct a philosophical foundation for educating people toward the fullest understanding and enjoyment of listening.

This book is for readers who are insatiably curious about music-"students of music" in the broadest sense of the word. In this category I include those whose musical concerns are more humanistic than technical, as well as those preparing for careers in music.

Preface

Researchers are viewing with growing interest the study of policy as it relates to music education. In particular, they have become interested in the examination of formal and informal policy factors relating to the place of music in society and the reflection of that role in school music programs; the identification of policy makers, their motivations and modus operandi; the enactment of policy and the reactions of constituents; and, finally, the types of policies that have traditionally affected music educators. We have addressed some of these issues in other forums and writings, with particular emphasis on formally stated policy and the consequences of such initiatives. This book will focus upon more informal aspects of policy as they relate to music teacher preparation- instances in which practices evolved over time have resulted in formally stated policy initiatives.

This book is for readers who are insatiably curious about music- "students of music" in the broadest sense of the word. In this category I include those whose musical concerns are more humanistic than technical, as well as those preparing for careers in music. Thinking about Music is not specifically addressed to musicologists or philosophers, although I would hope that both may find something of value herein. My only recommendation is that the reader be armed with as diverse a set of musical experiences as possible, whether acquired through a lifetime of concert going, a record collection, amateur performance, or professional training.
