Music, Education, and Multiculturalism

In today's multi-ethnic classroom, multiculturalism plays an increasingly vital role. What it is, how it developed, and what it means for education, especially music education, is the essence of this three-part book. Music, Education, And Multiculturalism traces the growth and development of multicultural music education in the United States from its start in the early 1900s to the present, and describes the state of multicultural music education internationally. Designed to assist music educators at all levels in understanding and implementing multicultural education, this book provides suggestions for curricular development, offers teaching strategies, and provides practical applications including materials and methodologies. Combining personal narrative and oral history with the support of primary and archival documents, this text is essential reading for all students and teachers of the history and foundations of music education and of multiculturalism in general education.

First sentence: Multiculturalism is among the most discussed topics in American education in the twentieth century.
