Giving Voice To Democracy in Music Education

June 20 – 22, 2014

 

This conference will present ideas and forward thinking teaching practice about developing young musicians in a democratic society. How we design spaces for democratic participation in the profession and in the classroom contributes not only critical thought about music but also to the place of music in a broader social context. Featured speakers will be Dr. David Elliott, celebrated author of Music Matters, Dr. Nicholas Michelli, international spokesperson and author for education as democratic practice, and Dr. Paul G. Woodford, distinguished author of Democracy and Music Education.
