Music as Education

Undergraduate

What are the most prominent approaches to teaching and learning music in the United States? Which pedagogical philosophies and practices preserve the norms of a musical tradition, and which are capable of inciting musical and social change? How do scholars and practitioners in the disciplines of education, music education, musicology, and music performance differently understand music learning processes? And, how might music offer a particularly valuable window into the study of education more broadly? This course seeks to answer each of these questions, drawing upon readings across education studies, music education, music history, ethnomusicology, childhood studies, disability studies, and elsewhere.
