SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Music education has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Whereas lessons were once characterised by their passivity, children now learn about music through actively engaging in it by performing, composing, listening and appraising. However, this has not been easily achieved and it was only with the implementation of the National Curriculum that children became entitled to this practical and creative involvement in music. This reader places music education in context and then goes on to examine a range of issues linked to the teaching and learning of music. The latter half of the book concentrates on music education within the classroom, highlighting the kinds of points which all teachers of music will need to consider.
