"'This is an impressive volume, a bright and shining compendium of essays by prominent scholars from fourteen nations who trace the historic roots and reasons for music as a subject of study in compulsory schooling... it is expertly conceived and carried through as a project that conveys varied international histories and current contexts of music.' Patricia Shehan Campbell, Donald E. Peterson Professor of Music, University of Washington"

This landmark collection will explore the origins and foundations of music education across five continents. The introduction of music as a compulsory subject in schools is of unique significance for music educationists and researchers. However, their shared knowledge of this phenomenon is fragmentary and there is consequently a need for more comprehensive documentation and analysis of the foundational aspect of school music from a variety of international perspectives. Origins and Foundations of Music Education considers the following key issues: the inclusion of music as part of the compulsory school curriculum in the context of the historical and political landscape; the aims, objectives and content of the music curriculum as a compulsory subject; teaching methods; the provision and training of teachers of music; the experiences of pupils experiencing this musical education. Contributors have been carefully selected to represent countries which have incorporated music into compulsory schooling for a variety of differing reasons giving a diverse collection which will guide future actions and policy.
