This book explores the music of Africa and its experience in modern
education, offering music education analyses from African
perspectives. The collection assembles insights from around Africa
to bring African and non-African scholars into the world of music,
education, policy, and assessment as played out across the
continent. The music of Africa presents multiple avenues for the
understanding of the reality of life from a cultural perspective.
The teaching and learning of this music closely follows its
practice, the latter involving a combination of artistic
expressions. With international interest in world music, there is
need to engage with concepts and processes of this music. The
volume offers new research from culture bearers, scholars, and
educators rooted in practices that provide deeper perceptions of
the cultural expression of music. With sections focussing on
Concepts in Musical Arts, Musical Arts Processes, and Music
Education Practice, it captures and documents the concept of
musical arts from an African experiential perspective. Articulating
the processes of musical arts and their implications for teaching
and learning in both African and international learning contexts,
it presents a balanced view of music as a phenomenon and generates
material for discussion. A valuable resource for those seeking
insight into aspects of music practice in Africa, this book will
appeal to scholars of Music Education, Ethnomusicology, Community
Music, African Studies, and African Music.
