It's the playground song contest and everyone is very excited to
show off their musical skills! Peppa is nervous - what if she isn't
loud enough or she can't remember the words? Luckily her friends
are there to give her the support she needs! This thick board book
is a lovely story about confidence, support, friendship and singing
as loud as you can!
What values should form the foundation of music education? And once
we decide on those values, how do we ensure we are acting on them?
In Values and Music Education, esteemed author Estelle R. Jorgensen
explores how values apply to the practice of music education. We
may declare values, but they can be hard to see in action.
Jorgensen examines nine quartets of related values and offers
readers a roadmap for thinking constructively and critically about
the values they hold. In doing so, she takes a broad view of both
music and education while drawing on a wide sweep of
multidisciplinary literature. Not only does Jorgensen demonstrate
an analytical and dialectical philosophical approach to examining
values, but she also seeks to show how theoretical and practical
issues are interconnected. An important addition to the field of
music education, Values and Music Education highlights values that
have been forgotten or marginalized, underscores those that seem
perennial, and illustrates how values can be double-edged swords.
