David Elliot's "New" Philosophy of Music Education: Music for Performers Only.

Reimer, Bennett

Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n128 p59-89 Spr 1996

Provides an insightful summation and critique of David Elliott's "Music Matters: A New Philosophy of Music Education." Praises the book for its broad selection of thinkers and diverse array of topics. Claims, however, that the book places undue emphasis on performing and stoops to ridiculing rival theories. (MJP)
