On the basis of Dewey's principles, Paul G. Woodford explores the socialfoundation of current music education practices in the context of democratic valuesof freedom, creativity, and contribution to society. He then critiques the means bywhich this ideal is learned by teachers and taught to students. Woodford concludeswith recommendations for acknowledging democratic and non-democratic values in musicteaching, teacher training, and performance, and suggests steps toward a"liberal" music education.Counterpoints: Music andEducation -- Estelle R.
