Blurb

Recent years have seen rapid changes in the ways in which music is produced, disseminated and received. This volume brings together leading theorists in order to explore what these changes mean for music education in the new millennium.

In a series of thought–provoking essays, the contributors consider how musicians and music educators might relate to changing music perspectives and music phenomena in contemporary society. In doing so, they address themes such as pragmatism, performativity, cultural identity, emotion, autonomy and globalization.

The book challenges readers to think about what music means in contemporary society, and asks how music education can remain culturally relevant in the twenty–first century.
