The Ideology of Competition in School Music
The Ideology of Competition in School Music explores competition as a structuring force in school music and provides critiques of that system from multiple philosophical and theoretical perspectives. Competition is seen by many music teachers, students, and supporters as natural and inevitable--a taken-for-granted aspect of music education or an irresistible force, rather than a choice. This book uncovers this ideological nature of competition and examines its effect on student learning, teacher agency, and equity within music education. It considers ways in which music educators might reconsider the role of competition in their teaching practice and offers alternative frameworks for organiz...
Egotism, Elitism, and the Ethics of Musical Humility
"Scenes from the music video unravel quickly under a piano loop and an 808 drum groove. The figure raps from Jesus' center seat of a long table depicting DaVinci's The Last Supper. He lies in a pile of cash as fawning women count it all around him. Cloaked in white, he stands among a sea of men dressed in black. "Sit down," he repeatedly commands while he stubbornly stands.

Popular Music Will Not Save Us
In today's globalized landscapes, both traditional and progressive K-12 music education practices, including those associated with popular music, can further capitalism-related inequities. In this context, music educators and students might consider how they position themselves and their music-making practices in relation to capitalist aims and processes and confront the more unethical aspects of capitalism. Popular Music Will Not Save Us challenges music educators to rethink their philosophical stances in the face of contemporary capitalist values and explores the intersection of music education and globalized capitalism, unveiling how certain practices exacerbate material inequities and er...
