Summary:
"Music education today requires an approach rooted in care and kindness that coexists alongside the dismantling of systems that fail to serve students, teachers, or their goals in music. The editors of this volume curate essays that use a broad definition of care pedagogy, one informed by interdisciplinary scholarship and aimed at providing practical strategies for bringing transformative learning and engaged pedagogies to music classrooms. The contributors draw from personal experience to address issues including radical kindness through universal design; listening to non-human musicality; public musicology as a forum for social justice discourse; and radical approaches to teaching about race through music. But, as the essayists show, the structural aspects of music study in higher education present obstacles to caring and kindness like the entrenched master-student model, the valorization of physical pain and stress, and classical music's white patriarchal history"-- Provided by publisher.
