A Philosophy of Music Education: Advancing the Vision, Third Edition

A Philosophy of Music Education by Bennett Reimer is a comprehensive guide for music educators, students, and anyone interested in understanding the nature and value of music education.

This seminal text provides practical applications of findings in the field of aesthetics to the practice of music education, emphasizing the importance of recognizing music as a multitude of related practices.

Reimer's work addresses an increasingly diverse world and highlights the unique characteristics of music that make it distinctively an "art." The text includes case studies and questions for discussion/exploration that enhance student learning, making it an excellent introduction to music education pedagogy.

With a new introduction by Peter R.

Webster setting Reimer's work in context and illuminating its continued relevance, A Philosophy of Music Education remains the best single introduction to this important and growing field.
