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.

Learning with Music offers an accessible introduction to music education theory for those working in the early years. Using real case studies and rich examples, the book provides practical suggestions to develop the formative ideas of music education, such as melody, rhythm, pulse and timbre, into games and activities for every early years setting. Chapters include a range of tried-and-tested lesson sequences and accompanying developmental benefits, allowing practitioners to confidently create tailor-made lesson plans and manage music sessions, ranging from one child through to larger groups. Each concept is grounded in child development theory, as well as music education theory, giving practitioners an insight into the research-based principles and priorities of music education for their own unique setting. With a clear focus on the benefits of teaching music from birth to preschool, Learning with Music is essential reading for all early years practitioners, as well as students on Early Childhood courses.

Excerpt from Music-Education: An Outline The genesis of Music-Education, and the series of books intended to outline its objects and processes, is not to be found in the author's interest in music or music-study. They spring from his interest in the broader, deeper, more primal problem of education, and from his constantly growing conviction that simplicity, absolute truthfulness, and spiritual consciousness in every aspect of human thought are the prime needs of the hour in all educational work. The development of any specific mode of thought should be the demonstration of a true education. Education means, to the author, revealing to the child, and leading him to exercise, his God-given capacity to conceive and express, that is, make manifest in thought and deed, all pure idea; to unfold the kingdom of God, all good, in the individual consciousness. This means conceptive development, and it must exhibit the qualities of truthfulness, purity, clearness, concentration, endurance, persistence, logic, and unity.
