Page i Teaching Music in American Society Steven N. Kelly has provided the music education community with a timely, important, and comprehensive text that synthesizes social and cultural issues and theories and their relationship to teaching, learning, and advancing music in today’s schools and society. From the active music educator to the pre-service teacher, music education professionals will find this book to be tremendously valuable as a guide and source of focus regarding the myriad of philosophical and pedagogical understandings that are critical for success as a contemporary and informed music educator. —Keith A. Kaiser, Ithaca College Teaching Music in American Society is an indispensable resource for all educators–pre-service, novice, and experienced teachers. The social and cultural issues identified in this reading are, in essence, the core of education. —Nicole R. Robinson, University of Memphis Teaching Music in American Society applies philosophical, social, cultural, and theoretical issues to common musical classroom and rehearsal situations encountered daily in a culturally and musically diverse American society. The book’s premise is based on the philosophy that music teachers must not only be knowledgeable in their subject, but must also understand the social component of teaching music. It is written for undergraduate and graduate students working toward a career in music education, experienced teachers, and other professionals who interact with music students of all levels and abilities. Topics include local, state, and national issues and policies surrounding music education, music education’s role in society, as well as teacher’s certification, accountability, salary structures, and legal issues. All topics and material are research-based to provide a foundation and current perspective on each issue. Each chapter ends with questions to consider and key terms and readings for further research. Steven N. Kelly is Associate Professor of Music Education at Florida State University. Student and instructor resources at the Companion Website: www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415992091
