Music Matters: A Philosophy of Music Education by Elliott
Why is music significant in life and education? What shall we teach? How? To whom? Where and when? The praxial philosophy espoused in Music Matters: A Philosophy of Music Education offers an integrated sociocultural, artistic, participatory, and ethics-based concept of the natures and values of musics, education, musicing and listening, community music, musical understanding, musical emotions, creativity, and more. Embodied-enactive concepts of action, perception, and personhood weave through the book's proposals. Practical principles for curriculum and instruction emerge from the authors' praxial themes.
"Nearly twenty years ago, music education philosophy changed forever with the publication of Music MattersThe second edition is not a casual update; it is a sweepingly new and expanded text that rises to an unprecedented level of sophistication. In addition to having a fresh and contemporary feel that draws evidence from a great array of sources including science, cognition, and philosophy; this edition also celebrates critical and creative thinking and offers an enhanced concept of personhood and the development of individual meaning. The result is a powerful and convincing resource that is a must-read for anyone who takes music teaching and learning seriously."--Peter R. Webster, Professor Emeritus, Northwestern University"Why does music matter so much in our lives? Why does it have the power to transform us?
