Opis

Designed for all music teachers, this book provides an examination and analysis of the fundamental concepts involved in music. It investigates questions such as: What is music? Is music meaningful? Does music refine our feelings and emotions? If so, how? The discussion of these questions forms a conceptual framework which aims to motivate further thinking and development in music education.

Recenzje

'Professor Swanwick brought to this book the distillation of years of work and experience in the field. He not only grounded his work firmly in that of Langer, Koestler, L.A. Reid, Reimer and others, but having established a theory of music he confidently articulated a rationale for music education. - - Here at last was the curriculum model that music educators had lacked for so long containing both a clearly stated philosophical base and defined curriculum objectives.' - Margaret Metcalfe; in Living Powers, Falmer Press, 1987
