title: Music Education: Source Readings from Ancient Greece to Today
author: Michael Mark
description: This collection of important writings in music education spans 2500 years, from thinkers like Aristotle to institutions like the National Endowment for the Arts. Noted music education historian Mark (emeritus, Towson State Univ.) has compiled excerpts from over 100 philosophers, scholars, administrators, and politicians. Although many of the early selections appeared in Source Readings in Music Education History (1982), a music education staple also edited by Mark, this volume is valuable for its wide variety of new American sources, particularly post-1950. Also unique to this volume is a section organizing the source materials by current educational issues: "Music Education and Society," "Music Education: Mind and Brain," "The School Music Program," and "Advocacy for Music Education." Invaluable to scholars and students and useful as a digest of key ideas in music education for the casual reader, this is highly recommended for public and academic libraries.
