ABOUT THIS BOOK
What is music education, and what ought it to be? By challenging narrow
and inadequate conceptions of the field, Estelle Jorgensen raises the
possibility of alternative views that can dignify the teacher's task,
enrich and enliven the profession, and validate an exciting range of additional
ways in which music education can be undertaken in the contemporary world.
One of the most respected leaders in music education, Jorgensen emphasizes
world music and ethnomusicology as equal partners alongside the more conventional
sounds and styles that have dominated the classroom. Exemplifying sound
scholarship, thorough research, and compelling argument, In Search
of Music Education will be especially welcome wherever teachers strive
to deal with requirements for responsible music education.
