Art of Teaching Music

The Art of Music Education takes up important aspects of the art of music teaching ranging from organization to serving as conductor to dealing with disconnect between the ideal of university teaching and the reality in the classroom. Writing for both established teachers and instructors on the rise, Estelle R. Jorgensen opens a conversation about the life and work of the music teacher. She reflects on musicianship and practical aspects of teaching while drawing on a broad base of theory, research, and personal experience. Jorgensen urges music teachers to think and act artfully, imaginatively, hopefully, and courageously toward creating a better world.
