Monday, November 2 is publication day.
This new work celebrates the contribution made by
to the conversation that is music education, a conversation as old as the human race and now energised by our new work.
In the Music in Education magazine of 1978 a section is devoted to Books on Music in Education. Victor Payne makes a selection.
Sound and Silence features. Victor writes:
This modern ‘classic’ takes the whole business of music in education by the neck and gives it a shaking that was long overdue. … It sets out to provide suggestions for creative experiment in music employing thirty-six projects that owe their origins largely to principles which underlie the various directions of twentieth-century music has taken. These principles are adopted in so far as they are relevant to educational development and practicality. The depth of philosophy expounded, the convincing scholarship displayed, the refreshing and stimulating pace have contributed to the success of what is probably the most significant book produced on the subject in recent years.’
This new publication aims to:
· Celebrate seminal work on musical creativity in the classroom.
· Promote the integration of practical, critical and analytical writing and thinking around this key theme for music education.
· Contribute to initiating the next 50 years of thought in relation to music creativity in the classroom.
We hope you will find it stimulating.
