Addressing how the arts present opportunities to shape democratic awareness through political, pedagogical, and humanistic perspectives, this book explores methods for translating these ideas into meaningful music teaching practice. Focusing on democracy as a vital dimension in teaching music, the essays in this volume have particular relevance to teaching music as democratic practice in both public schooling and in teacher education. Although music educators have much to learn from others in the educational field, the actual teaching of music involves social and political dimensions unique to the arts, while teaching music as democratic practice demands a pedagogical foundation not often addressed in the general teacher education community. Essays address the teaching of the arts as a critical response to democratic participation; diversity in music classes including issues such as race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and children with special needs; teaching as praxis within a democratic context; and music teaching as a form of social justice. Engaging with current scholarship, the book not only probes the philosophical nature of music and democracy, but also presents ways of democratizing music curriculum and human interactions within the classroom. This volume offers the collective wisdom of scholars, teachers, and teacher educators and will be essential reading for those who teach music not just as notes and rhythms, but as a vital force for change and social justice in both local and global contexts.
