Compassionate Music Teaching provides a framework for music teaching in the 21st century by outlining qualities, skills, and approaches to meet the needs of a unique and increasingly diverse generation of students. The text focuses on how six qualities of compassion (trust, empathy, patience, inclusion, community, and authentic connection) have made an impact in human lives, and how these qualities might relate to the practices of caring and committed music teachers. This book bridges the worlds of research and practice, discussing cutting-edge topics while also offering practical strategies that can be used immediately in music studios and classrooms.

This book explores how music education can remain relevant in an era of multiple environmental crises that threaten human thriving and life on a planetary scale. The author argues that music educators must join with educators in other fields to deconstruct unsustainable ideologies and replace them with sustainable curricular practices, while focusing music learning on the project of fostering hope, healing, resilience, justice, and community cohesion. Drawing on the perspectives of radical ecopsychology, ecojustice, and ecofeminism, this book considers how music education can address the emotional and spiritual dimensions of coping with environmental crises. Offering a critique of the compartmentalized nature of current educational practices, and envisioning a new approach to music learning that can help teachers and students heal the bifurcations between psyche, nature, and society at the root of the environmental crises, this book is essential reading for scholars of music and arts education as well as graduate students and educators.
This volume offers chapters written by some of the most respected narrative and qualitative inquiry writers in the field of music education. The authorship and scope are international, and the chapters advance the philosophical, theoretical, and methodological bases of narrative inquiry in music education and the arts. The book contains two sections, each with a specific aim. The first is to continue and expand upon dialogue regarding narrative inquiry in music education, emphasizing how narrative involves the art of listening to and hearing others whose voices are often unheard. The chapters invite music teachers and scholars to experience and confront music education stories from multiple perspectives and worldviews, inviting an international readership to engage in critical dialogue with and about marginalized voices in music. The second section focuses on ways in which narrative might be represented beyond the printed page, such as with music, film, photography, and performative pieces. This section includes philosophical discussions about arts-based and aesthetic inquiry, as well as examples of such work.
