MoreLong description:
Unfreezing Music Education argues that discussing the conflicting meanings of music should occupy a more central role in formal music education and music teacher preparation programs than is currently the case.
Drawing on the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, the author seeks to take a dialectical approach to musical meaning, rooted in critical formalism, that avoids the pitfalls of both traditional aesthetic arguments and radical subjectivity. This book makes the case for helping students understand that the meaning of musical forms is socially constructed through a process of reification, and argues that encouraging greater awareness of the processes through which music?s fluid meanings become hidden will help students to think more critically about music.
Connecting this philosophical argument with concrete, practical challenges faced by students and educators, this study will be of interest to researchers across music education and philosophy, as well as post-secondary music educators and all others interested in aesthetic philosophy, critical theory, cultural studies, or the sociology of music and music education.
?There is no doubt that this is an absolutely outstanding example of scholarship of the highest quality, making an original contribution and taking forward the philosophy and sociology of music education in pertinent directions for the 21st century.? ? Lucy Green, Emerita Professor of Music Education, UCL Institute of Education, UK
