Gender Issues in Scandinavian Music Education: From Stereotypes to
Multiple Possibilities introduces much-needed updates to research
and teaching philosophies that envision new ways of considering
gender diversity in music education. This volume of essays by
Scandinavian contributors looks beyond the dominant Anglo-American
lens while confronting a universal need to resist and rethink the
gender stereotypes that limit a young person's musical development.
Addressing issues at all levels of music education-from primary and
secondary schools to conservatories and universities- topics
discussed include: the intersection of social class, sexual
orientation, and teachers' beliefs; gender performance in the music
classroom and its effects on genre and instrument choice;
hierarchical inequalities reinforced by power and prestige
structures; strategies to fulfill curricular aims for equality and
justice that meet the diversity of the classroom; and much more!
Representing a commitment to developing new practices in music
education that subvert gender norms and challenge
heteronormativity, Gender Issues in Scandinavian Music Education
fills a growing need to broaden the scope of how gender and
equality are situated in music education-in Scandinavia and beyond.

This beautiful introduction to art and language features some of
the world's most beloved masterpieces as it entices children to
discover art, language, objects, and colors. First pictures, first
words--this familiar and time-proven book concept for young
children is incorporated brilliantly in this multi-lingual art
book. The works of Renoir, Kandinsky, Durer, Rousseau, Franz Marc,
and others are featured in beautiful full-page reproductions.
Opposite each image is a word that helps describe the painting--for
instance "play," "bunny," "horse," "train." The words are presented
in twelve different languages, each with their phonetic
pronunciation. Organized thematically, the book touches on a
child's everyday experience through simple and comforting images
that will invite further investigation: What are the men playing
with? What does the bunny's fur feel like? How many teddy bears do
you see? Together adults and children can explore great works,
planting the seeds for an appreciation of the world's masterpieces
and the words to describe them."

Too frightened of scandal to become involved with a brilliant
writer, Hedda Gabler opts instead for a conventional but loveless
marriage. But, when her first love returns with a masterpiece that
might threaten her husband's career, Hedda decides to take drastic
and fatal action. Universally condemned in 1890 when it was
written, Hedda Gabler has subsequently become one of Ibsen's most
performed and studied plays. Blending comedy and tragedy, Ibsen
probes the thwarted aspirations and hidden anxieties of his
characters against a backdrop of contemporary social Habits and
hypocrisies. This Methuen Drama Student Edition is published with
Michael Meyer's classic translation, and with commentary and notes
by Dr. Sophie Duncan. These offer a contemporary lens on the play's
gender politics, and consider some key twentieth and twenty-first
century productions of Hedda Gabler, which include actresses like
Maggie Smith, Harriet Walker, and Ruth Wilson taking on the iconic
titular role.

This volume has been brought together to generate new ideas and
provoke discussion about what constitutes arts education in the
twenty-first century, both within the institution and beyond. Art,
Artists and Pedagogy is intended for educators who teach the arts
from early childhood to tertiary level, artists working in the
community, or those studying arts in education from undergraduate
to Masters or PhD level. From the outset, this book is not only
about arts in practice but also about what distinguishes the 'arts'
in education. Exploring two different philosophies of education,
the book asks what the purpose of the arts is in education in the
twenty-first century. With specific reference to the work of Gert
Biesta, questions are asked as to the relation of the arts to the
world and what kind of society we may wish to envisage. The second
philosophical set of ideas comes from Deleuze and Guattari, looking
in more depth at how we configure art, the artist and the role
played by the state and global capital in deciding on what art
education has become. This book provides educators with new ways to
engage with arts, focusing specifically on art, music, dance, drama
and film studies. At a time when many teachers are looking for a
means to re-assert the role of the arts in education this text
provides many answers with reference to case studies and in-depth
arguments from some of the world's leading academics in the arts,
philosophy and education.
Old MacDonald Had a Farm is the E-I-E-I-Oh! classic that introduces
baby to the world of farm animals and the different ways each has
of talking - the pig with his oink-oink, the cow with her moo-moo,

farmyard.
