  • MUS 573: Philosophy of Music Education

    3.00 Credits
    Heidelberg University

    (3 sem. hrs.) This course is an examination of current and historical philosophical issues in music education. For more than fifty years, philosophy in music education has been based upon the widely-accepted concept of Music Education as Aesthetic Education (MEAE). Based upon the work of Suzanne Langer and Robert Mursell, and later expanded by thinkers such as Robert House and Bennett Reimer, the Foundations of music education have rested upon an understanding that the essential worth of music - and therefore music education - is inherent in the aesthetic qualities embodied in musical works. More recently, philosophers in music education have begun to question the central premises of this thinking, and postulating a newer, more inclusive philosophical basis for the understanding and teaching of music. This course will examine the historical philosophy of music education, new directions in understanding music, and assist students in forming their own philosophy; a philosophy which will guide their actions as teachers and musicians.
