Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Rethinking Music Education and Social Change asseses music education's relation to societal transformation and offers an imaginative, yet critical, vision for music education as utopian theory and practice.
MoreLong description:
The arts, and particularly music, are well-known agents for social change. They can empower, transform, or question. They can be a mirror of society's current state and a means of transformation. They are often the last refuge when all attempts at social change have failed. But are the arts able to live up to these expectations? Can music education cause social change?
Rethinking Music Education and Social Change offers timely answers to these questions. It presents an imaginative, yet critical approach. At once optimistic and realistic, the book asseses music education's relation to social change and offers a new vision for music education as utopian theory and practice. As an important topic in sociology and political science, utopia offers a new tradition of thinking and a scholarly foundation for music education's relation to social change.
Unlike any other author, Alexandra Kertz-Welzel has a unique, distinctive way of advocating for music education as an agent of social change that, within limits, holds the potential for developing more just and imaginative societies. Embracing philosophical, sociological, and political perspectives, the insights she presents redefine music education's goals in ways that will stimulate and challenge music educators internationally.
