Knowledge and Music Education Summary

Knowledge and Music Education: A Social Realist Account by Graham J. McPhail (University of Auckland, New Zealand)

    • Knowledge and Music Education: A Social Realist Account explores current challenges for music education in relation to wider philosophical and political debates.
    • Seeks to find a way forward for the field by rethinking the nature and value of epistemic knowledge in the wake of postmodern critiques.
    • Focusing on secondary school music, and considering changes in approaches to teaching over time, this book seeks to understand the forces at play that enhance or undermine music's contribution to a socially just curriculum for all.
    • The author argues that the unique nature of disciplinary-derived knowledge provides students with essential cognitive development, and must be integrated with the turn to more inclusive, student-centred, and culturally responsive teaching.
    • Connecting theoretical issues with concrete curriculum design, the book considers how we can give music students the benefits of specialized subject knowledge without returning to a traditional past.
