This book has been meaningful to me throughout my career. As a graduate student it opened my eyes to the ways in which humans engage in musical practices both on stage and in everyday life. As a university professor, it reminds me of the expansive and important role that music plays in the lives of all humans and of the important responsibility we hold as music educators to ensure that school music is perceived of broadly and taught in ways that will have meaningful impact on children’s education and throughout their lives.
