This course will provide students with an introduction to key questions and issues in music education theory and practice. The aim is to provide a stimulating and challenging environment in which students are encouraged to think about the nature and roles of music education in schools, studios, and community settings. This course will provide students with the opportunity to explore key topics in education that impact on the nature and value of music learning and will provide the necessary tools to equip students as learners and educators in a variety of contexts. Accordingly, a good deal of class time is dedicated to examining and discussing major issues, ideas, methodologies, and approaches to music education in schools and also to encouraging self-examination of personal experiences and the values students bring to their studies of music education.

Note: This course is open to music majors and students in the College of Education. Other students may also take this course with permission of the department. Students with credit for either MUS 115.3 or MUS 298.3 Introduction to Music Education may not take this course for credit.
