Music Education for Social Change: Constructing an Activist
Music Education develops an activist music education
rooted in principles of social justice and anti-oppression.
Based on the interviews of 20 activist-musicians across the
United States and Canada, the book explores the common themes,
perceptions, and philosophies among them, positioning these
activist-musicians as catalysts for change in music education
while raising the question: amidst racism and violence
targeted at people who embody difference, how can music
education contribute to changing the social climate?
Music has long played a role in activism and resistance. By
drawing upon this rich tradition, educators can position
activist music education as part of a long-term response to
events, as a crucial initiative to respond to ongoing
oppression, and as an opportunity for youth to develop
collective, expressive, and critical thinking skills. This
emergent activist music education—like activism pushing toward
social change—focuses on bringing people together, expressing
experiences, and identifying (and challenging) oppression.
Grounded in practice with examples integrated throughout the
text, Music Education for Social Change is an
imperative and urgent consideration of what may be possible
through music and music education.Book, 222 pages.
