Music is a powerful means for educating citizens in a multicultural society and meeting many challenges shared by teachers across all subjects and grade levels. By celebrating heritage and promoting intercultural understandings, music can break down barriers between various ethnic, racial, cultural, and language groups within elementary and secondary schools. This book provides important insights for educators in music, the arts, and other subjects on the role that music can play in the curriculum as a powerful bridge to cultural understanding. The author documents key ideas and practices that have influenced current music education, particularly through efforts of ethnomusicologists in collaboration with educators, and examines some of the promises and pitfalls in shaping multicultural education through music. The text highlights World Music Pedagogy as a gateway to studying other cultures as well as the importance of including local music and musicians in the classroom.

Industry Reviews

"For Campbell, connecting music to engagement, cultural understanding, humankind, teaching, and learning is emphasized again and again throughout the text as the way to bring us together in a peaceful world. Her consistency across the entire set of movements allows her to easily elaborate her argument that music is everywhere and meant for everyone. It clearly is her paradigm."

--TC Record

"Music can be a powerful bridge to cultural understanding, and this book addresses a variety of philosophical and practical topics related to the wide-ranging spectrum"...those that take the time to read this slender volume...will gain insight into issues of diversity and music education from one of the leading thinkers of our time."

--The Kodalay Envoy
