Justifying Music Instruction in American Public Schools: An Historical Perspective.
Jorgensen, Estelle R.
Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, n120 p17-31 Spr 1994
Describes the historical role and rationale of music education. Outlines the contribution of musical knowledge to the development of the individual and society. Concludes that, if music is to assume a central place in schools, a political philosophy of music education, including ideas of freedom, democracy, and social values, must be forged. (CFR)
