Routledge Studies in Music Education Educational Change and the Secondary School Music Curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand, (Hardcover)

Educational Change and the Secondary School Music Curriculum in Aotearoa New Zealand provides a fascinating case study in educational change. The music curriculum has been greatly affected by deep cultural and economic forces such as the growth of popular music's importance in young people's lives, by demands for inclusive and multicultural education, and not least by advances in technology that promise to invigorate all aspects of teaching and learning. This book brings together the work of a number of leading music education scholars and teachers from Aotearoa/New Zealand to explore these issues and share case studies of practice: both the positive changes and the unintended consequences.
