Description
How do children learn - or learn about - music? How do national cultures and education systems affect children's musical learning? These are the ambitious questions this book confronts. It provides answers by combining information, analysis and evaluation from 15 countries. Written by an international team, the survey provides a global perspective on musical education and development and also a comparative framework designed to enable teachers, parents and researchers to learn from practice and policy in other countries.
