Debates in Music Teaching encourages both graduate and postgraduate students and practising teachers to engage with contemporary issues and developments in music education. It introduces a critical approach to the central concepts and practices that have influenced major interventions and initiatives in music teaching and supports the development of new ways of looking at ideas around teaching and learning in music.

Bringing together leading international experts, the chapters consider key issues in music education alongside reflective questions to help shape research and writing. This second edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest debates in the field including:

the justification for music in the school curriculum
music education and cognitive psychology
the nature of musical knowledge
addressing decolonisation
partnerships in music education
the nature of musical development
social justice and music education
the place of diverse musical genres and traditions in the music curriculum
pedagogies of composing
environmentally sustainable practices for teaching music with technology
the professional journeys and identity of music teachers

Written to help readers to form their own personal philosophy of music education and stimulate critical and creative thinking, Debates in Music Teaching is essential reading for all student and practising music teachers.

Chris Philpott is an emeritus reader in Music Education at the University of Greenwich, United Kingdom. Gary Spruce is a visiting lecturer in Music Education at Birmingham City University, United Kingdom.
