Opis

With new technologies and new modes of communicationcomes a new order. The samba school, a gathering ofamateur musicians who play Brazilian basedpercussion, has now become a global phenomenon thathas resulted in a resurgence of music in thecommunity throughout the developed world. With the popularity of samba many music teachers andeducation departments have begun to incorporate sambainto their work. This book tells the account of twocase studies, in England and New Zealand, where musiceducation students went into schools to teach samba.The results of the experience led many of thestudents not only to rate samba as a great experiencebut to question their own concept of music andteaching in schools. This book grew from interviews with the universitystudents about their samba making, to become an indepth examination of currently held beliefs in musiceducation. This has led to the orgination of anapproach to music based on the work of Nietzsche andHeidegger that is explored in this book. This text will be of interest to music graduates,teachers and music education and lecturers atuniversity level.
