Description
Competition is seen by many music teachers, students, and supporters as natural and inevitable–a taken-for-granted aspect of music education, 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 gives music teachers ways to reconsider the role of competition in their teaching practice and offers alternative frameworks for organizing school music.
