Critical Issues in Music Education: Contemporary Theory and Practice 1st Edition

Excellent book! I strongly recommend it for every music educator or music education student! This book deals with current issues in the music education world and is an excellent guide for new and old music teachers.

Exactly as described.

This book is an absolute slog to get through. There are far better books to use as an introduction to music education. The authors don't bother to define their important terms, they use run-on sentences constantly - basically, don't read it unless you have to for class. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars is because the book was in fine condition, and it's not the /seller's/ fault that the book was written by academics who care more about sounding smart than speaking clearly.

A must have for graduate students of music education. Current research -- well-written by experts in the field.

Awesome book and came fast

It's one of the books I am using for my Masters program😀.

Bought this for a curriculum course. Really enjoyed it!

We used this as one of our texts in my last pedagogy class, and the book is well-organized and relevant. It is speaking mostly of classroom settings, and my primary experience in teaching comes from one-on-one music lessons. But many of the ideas apply no matter the setting. For those educators looking for a refreshing look at the topic of classroom pedagogy, the book provides easily readable sources on a range of topics.
