Why Teach Music at School?
Koopman, Constantijn
Oxford Review of Education, v22 n4 p483-94 Dec 1996
Examines three arguments supporting music education in the schools: (1) music education is vital to individual development; (2) musical experience involves a special kind of knowledge; and (3) the richness of musical experience justifies itself. Posits the the third argument as the strongest for building a supportive consensus. (MJP)
