Recenzje

Dr June Boyce-Tillman is a pioneer. It is due to her inspiration and boundless energies that an important new and ground-breaking compendium has been assembled. This rich and diverse collection of contributions eloquently challenges the long-held opinion that there are some issues about which we cannot speak. The articles cross cultural boundaries and provide ample and carefully researched evidence of both theory and practice, presented in approachable language, and opening new avenues of enquiry to enrich music education. - GEORGE ODAM, Emeritus Professor Bath Spa University, Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama
