Multicultural perspectives in music education

With Multicultural Perspectives in Music Education, you can explore musics from around the world with your students in a meaningful way. Broadly based and practically oriented, the book will help you develop curriculum for an increasingly multicultural society. Ready-to-use lesson plans make it easy to bring many different but equally logical musical systems into your classroom. The authors--a variety of music educators and ethnomusicologists--provide plans and resources to broaden your students' perspectives on music as an important aspect of culture both within the United States and globally.
