Music as Culture: Toward a Multicultural Concept of Arts Education.

Elliott, David J.

Journal of Aesthetic Education, v24 n1 p147-66 Spr 1990

Uses E. D. Hirsch's concepts of art, culture, and multiculturalism to rethink the philosophy and practice of arts education. Analyzes culture and multiculturalism and suggests that music education be conceived in multicultural terms. Disputing Hirsch's cultural uniformity, maintains that music educators should preserve the integrity of music cultures of the U.S. macroculture. (KM)
