Schafer, R.M. - Thinking Ear on Music Education
- Description
Thirty years ago Schafer began publishing a series of pamphlets on music education that quickly established his reputation as an original thinker in the field. The constant theme in these writings is musical creativity: a second theme is the relationship of music to the acoustic environment. Frequently the writings also illustrate bridges from music to the other arts.
These pamphlets have remained popular; they have been translated into several languages and have become influential texts for music educators in many countries. The five original texts are included in this volume: The Composer in the Classroom. Ear Cleaning, The New Soundscape, When Words Sing and The Rhinoceros in the Classroom.
But what makes this new collection unique is the addition of all the more recent writings, hitherto uncollected, including essays on subjects as diverse as the building of sound sculptures and the training of a community choir.
This is the only accurate and definitive collection of Schafer's writings on music education. It belongs in the library of every contemporary music teacher. Teachers of movement, drama and language arts will also find this collection full of stimulating cross references to their own arts.
