Jorgensen raises the         possibility of alternative views that can dignify the teacher's task,         enrich and enliven the profession, and validate an exciting range of additional         ways in which music education can be undertaken in the contemporary world.       One of the most respected leaders in music education, Jorgensen emphasizes         world music and ethnomusicology as equal partners alongside the more conventional         sounds and styles that have dominated the classroom. Exemplifying sound         scholarship, thorough research, and compelling argument, In Search         of Music Education will be especially welcome wherever teachers strive         to deal with requirements for responsible music education.
