Sociology and Music Education, Paperback / softback Book

Sociology and Music Education Paperback / softback

Edited by Ruth Wright

Part of the SEMPRE Studies in The Psychology of Music series

Paperback / softback

Description

Sociology and Music Education addresses a pressing need to provide a sociological foundation for understanding music education.

The music education community, academic and professional, has become increasingly aware of the need to locate the issues facing music educators within a broader sociological context.

This is required both as a means to deeper understanding of the issues themselves and as a means to raising professional consciousness of the macro issues of power and politics by which education is often constrained.

The book outlines some introductory concepts in sociology and music education and then draws together seminal theoretical insights with examples from practice with innovative applications of sociological theory to the field of music education.

The editor has taken great care to select an international community of experienced researchers and practitioners as contributors who reflect current trends in the sociology of music education in Europe and the UK.

The book concludes with an Afterword by Christopher Small.
