 Music,
Education, and Multiculturalism : Foundations and Principles by
Terese M. Volk
Multiculturalism
is an issue in education that cannot be ignored. What it is, how
it is developed, and what it means for education - especially
music education - is the essence of this book. Beginning with
a discussion of the philosophical foundations surrounding this
issue, this work traces the growth and development of multicultural
music education in the U.S. from its start in the early 1900s
to the present. It places the history of multicultural music education
within the context of both social history and general education
history within the U.S. and in the broader international community.
The last part of the book focuses on the implications of multiculturalism
for music education. This enlightening book serves as an ideal
reference for anyone interested in understanding and implementing
multicultural music education.
