Description
Perceived through the ages as a civilizing force, music has a fundamental role to play in education. This text is a reminder of how we arrived at contemporary debates and challenges in music education. The author charts the history of music teaching in British secondary schools over the course of the 20th century. Each chapter looks at a significant period in which the ideas and practices of a generation were established and refined. The main education publications of each decade are also examined, including the work of MacPherson, Somervell and Yorke Trotter.
