Why music?

Øivind Varkøy, Stefan Gies, German

Product details

Øivind Varkøy, Professor of Music Education at the Norwegian Academy of Music Oslo, presents in this book various concepts for establishing the place of music in the context of music education efforts
as formulated by philosophers, educators and teaching practitioners throughout history - from Plato and Aristotle to Schiller and the German youth movement, and more recently in North America, Scandinavia and Germany. In the final chapter of the book, the author finally presents his own thoughts on the educational significance of music, based on Hannah Arendt's distinction between the human forms of activity of working, producing and acting. The present translation is thanks to the German music educator Stefan Gies, who also contributed individual sections as original articles.
