Recent studies in music education have investigated the ways in
which different groups construe music and music education, and the
ways in which these constructions are culturally bound. A Cultural
Psychology of Music Education explores the ways in which the
discipline of cultural psychology can contribute to our
understanding of how music learning and development occurs in a
range of cultural settings, and the subsequent implications of such
understanding for the theory and practice of music education. The
book opens with an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of a
cultural psychology of music education. Ten eminent music education
scholars and researchers provide chapters that illustrate the
application of this approach to key issues in music education; its
theory and practice. These chapters provide opportunities to look
more deeply into the practices of music education in order to
understand the role culture plays in shaping children's musical
learning and thinking, the learning and teaching of music teachers,
the formal and informal institutions and structures within and
through which learning and teaching occur, and, the intersection of
these processes and structures in the development of musical
thought and practice. As the first major publication to explore a
cultural psychology of music education, this volume signals new
directions for the study of music educational theory and practice,
and the continuing transformation of the discipline. It draws
together a number of music education researchers working within a
cultural psychology framework establishing a basic reference in
this developing field. A fascinating subject, this volume will be
of interest to music educators, students and researchers of music
education, and music psychologists.
