In Search of Music Education cover

        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.
 

"If ... you are a music educator with an interest in rethinking music education within a broad philosophical perspective, one that seeks to hold in tension and reconcile the ambiguities and conflicts within the field, then you will be delighted." -- Deanne Bogdan, Philosophy of Music Education Review
