Abstract:

The third article, by Brian Roberts, presents these curricular concerns within a more universal context. It raises the issue of the role of music education in the general curriculum. Roberts provides a thought-provoking analysis of some prominent Western scholars' music education philosophies and probes into the underlying assumptions of curricular goals. Finally, he calls for sociological inquiry into the establishment of an alternative and thorough foundation of music education.
