Over the last thirty years, the scope and nature of education in British schools has changed dramatically, and music--once only an extracurricular subject--has come to occupy a key role. Education and Music examines the many controversial theories and methods of music education that have been developed, and it provides a rationale for the variety of musical activities that play an important part in schools today. After reviewing theories in music teaching, Fletcher argues the case for teaching historical style, stresses the importance of participation, and then explores teaching methodology in detail.

Over the last thirty years, the scope and nature of education in British schools has changed dramatically, and music--once only an extracurricular subject--has come to occupy a key role. Education and Music examines the many controversial theories and methods of music education that have been developed, and provides a rationale for the variety of musical activities that play an important part in schools today. After reviewing theories in music teaching, Fletcher argues the case for teaching historical style, stresses the importance of participation, and then explores teaching methodology in detail.

World Musics in Context is a wide-ranging survey of musics of the world, in their historical and social contexts, from ancient times to the present day. Ethnomusicologist Peter Fletcher begins by describing aspects of musical style and function in relation to the early developments of civilizations. He then goes on to explore, in five parts, music of the ancient world, music of Africa and Asia, European music, North and South American traditions, and music of the modern world. A compendium of information as well as an examination of musical causation and function, this book gives a deeper understanding of the various musical traditions that contribute to the modern, multicultural environment.

World Musics in Context: A Comprehensive Survey of the World's Major Musical Cultures

This volume contains a wide-ranging survey of musics of the world in historical and social contexts, from ancient times to the present day. It begins by describing aspects of musical style and function in relation to the early developments of civilizations, as background to a study of later transformations. It then describes, in some detail, musical traditions of Africa and Asia, in relation to history/geography and to other aspects of culture. A compendium of information currently available as well as a dialectical examination of musical causation and function, this book aims to lead students, teachers, and those who practice Western music towards a deeper understanding of the various musical traditions that contribute to the modern, multicultural environment.

This text introduces students to basic techniques of writing proofs and acquaints them with some fundamental ideas. The authors assume that students using this text have already taken courses in which they developed the skill of using results and arguments that others have conceived. This text picks up where the others left off -- it develops the students' ability to think mathematically and to distinguish mathematical thinking from wishful thinking.
