Reviews

Building upon decades of work on interdisciplinarity in the music curriculum, Janet Revell Barrett invites music educators to consider ways music learning can be more interconnected to other disciplines, contemporary society, and studentsâ lives. She masterfully accomplishes this through compelling arguments, unique cases from the field, detailed pedagogical models, reflective questioning, and thought-provoking stories. Music educators will find this book to be most informative and inspiring.
