Vesa Kurkela and Lauri Väkevä, eds., De-Canonizing Music History

  • Travis D. Stimeling Millikin University
Keywords: pedagogy, new musicology, ethnomusicology, critical discourse

Abstract

The essays in this collection provide evidence that the implications of recent musicological critiques have begun to find their way into the music history classroom and into other subdisciplines of music studies, particularly music education. Yet the findings in the three pedagogy articles discussed above also indicate that such integration has likely been slow and uneven.
