"Curriculum Philosophy and Theory for Music Education Praxis is offered for advanced pre-service music education students, in-service teachers, and doctoral students. "Curriculum" is often poorly understood by music teachers. It also is typically ignored topic in their teacher training where emphasis is on "methods," but without prior planning of the musical goals those methods supposedly serve. The basic question of curriculum planning in this book, "What of all that could be taught is most worth learning?," is not usually what teachers usually have in mind when referring to their "programs." In any case, too often their answers are not supportable by the rigorous philosophical and theoretical scholarship of this monograph. The result is the present anarchy of "programs" that fail to promote pragmatic and long-lasting results. This leads to the ever-growing "legitimation crisis" that advertises the aesthetic benefits of music education in schools. However, since these benefits are vague and intangible, music teachers constantly must engage in "advocacy" of their "programs" to parents, taxpayers, and administrators. This scholarly monograph accepts that pre- and in-service readers can understand the challenges of curriculum planning. It begins with a brisk survey of philosophies of music and music education inherited from the Greeks-included because they too often still dominate contemporary music teaching in negative ways. Then more recent and substantial bases of music curriculum and praxis theory of music and music education are examined as alternatives for planning curriculum built on intellectually substantial philosophical and theoretical grounds. The study concludes with a model curriculum based on recent praxis theory where musical and educational benefits are evident to students, administrators, and taxpayers, and the long-lasting values of pragmatic musicianship, taught by musician-teachers, lead to "artful" living through music." [TR] Contrarily, for this book I approach keywords with two criteria in mind: representing the contents of the chapter to a potential reader thumbing through the text. Via the keywords, they will find this text to have very unique content. As well, the well, there is some remote possibility that researchers using an on-line keyword search might be steered to this book. It is absurd to treat this as though a journal asking for 6-7 keywords; it's a book with countless important keywords (topics) per chapter. Showing less diminishes the uniqueness of the work. Generally, the keywords are listed in the order found in the chapter. This might be mentioned somewhere, since someone looking for a keyword can locate it as towards the beginning, middle, or end. Some keywords are repeated in other chapter listings due to their key importance. This repetitions is intended. The abstract and list of keywords as I have prepared them might well head each chapter.
