A Philosophy of Music Education (3rd ed.)

A Philosophy of Music Education is considered the classic text on the relation of aesthetics to the practical teaching and performing of music. Bennett Reimer's A Philosophy of Music Education asserts that the nature and value of music education are determined primarily by the nature and value of music. Originally published in 1970 (with the third edition originally published in 2003), this text relates findings in the field of aesthetics to their implications for the practice of music education
