Facing the Music : Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective

Facing the music provides a rich resource for reflection and practice for all those involved in teaching and learning music in culturally diverse environments, from policy makers to classroom teachers. In seven chapters that each approach the topic from a different angle, Schippers gradually unfolds the complexities and potential of learning and teaching music 'out of context' in an accessible manner, and presents a coherent model to approach these, as well as lucid suggestions for translating the resulting ideas in practice.
