Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Music Abroad, 1901: A Series of Reports on Visits In discussions on the school music question what may be called the German Myth constantly appears. All sorts of extravagant statements are made about German school music, both here and in America, by people who are usually well informed. We are told (i) that in Germany every child can sing at sight; (2) that in German schools an hour a day is devoted to the subject; (3) that (contradicting the foregoing) in Germany only the children with good ears are allowed to learn to sing; (4) that German congregations smg in parts. All these statements, as the pages which follow show, are wrong. Advocates of school music are right in doing their best to force attention to the subject, but to employ pure inventions as arguments is futile. In writing these reports I have never trusted to memory. Every detail, however small, has been noted in the class-room; even the epithets to be used in describing the way in which the exercises were done have been chosen at the moment and written down. The figures and facts have all been obtained from the teachers. These reports will serve their purpose if some who are in charge of the singing in our schools gather hints as to the direction which their work should take. Perhaps the most useful lesson for the day is to notice the amount Of pains taken on the Continent to get soft and musical tone from the children's voices. The significance of school music lies in the fact that it is the basis upon which national musical taste is built. In the long Tim Only such music will be performed in any country as the public will pay to listen to, and the public will, demand what it can assimilate. The superior persons who have only one standard, and take their start from a symphony orchestra, forget all the process of growth that leads up to it, the patient tuning Of the ear and the rhythmical sense, the cultivation of a feeling for form and response, and for orchestral colour. The present outlook for musical taste is not altogether pleasant. The Music Hall and Comic Opera have nothing to say for abstract music, but mingle the art with grotesque characterisation and the business of raising a laugh. School music leaves Off at too low a point. The Symphony and the Oratorio are to the children an unexplored land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central purpose of this book is to question the claims commonly made about the educational benefits of study abroad. Traditional metrics of enrollment increases and student self-report, and practices of structural immersion, are being questioned as educators voice growing uncertainty about what students are or are not in fact learning abroad. This book looks into whether these criticisms are justified—and what can be done if they are.The contributors to this book offer a counter-narrative to common views that learning takes place simply through students studying elsewhere, or through their enrolling in programs that take steps structurally to “immerse” them in the experience abroad.Student Learning Abroad reviews the dominant paradigms of study abroad; marshals rigorous research findings, with emphasis on recent studies that offer convincing evidence about what undergraduates are or are not learning; brings to bear the latest knowledge about human learning and development that raises questions about the very foundations of current theory and practice; and presents six examples of study abroad courses or programs whose interventions apply this knowledge. This book provokes readers to reconsider long-held assumptions, beliefs and practices about teaching and learning in study abroad and to reexamine the design and delivery of their programs. In doing so, it provides a new foundation for responding to the question that may faculty and staff are now asking: What do I need to know, and what do I need to be able to do, to help my students learn and develop more effectively abroad?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminal lectures on music education since the 1990s. There is no question that music education is in crisis today. The place of music in the national curriculum is controversial; there have been cuts in the provision of individual lessons; and there have been severe reductions in government funding, with more planned. This book, containing the first five Bernarr Rainbow Lectures, makes an important and timely contribution to the debate on music education.

Also included is the 2005 Royal Philharmonic Society by the Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies; an assessment from Bernarr Rainbow himself, written late in his life; an indictment from Wilfrid Mellers; and two reviews of Bernarr Rainbow on Music: Memoirs and Selected Writings, showing the continuing importance of his work fifteen years after his death.
