Description:
The selected proceedings of a symposium held at Helsinki, Finland’s Sibelius Academy on 29 November–1 December 2007 offers three essays that investigate the extent to which the critical methodologies that emerged from the “new musicology” of the 1990s have been assimilated into the pedagogy of music history at the undergraduate and graduate levels and the ways that these pedagogies been documented and theorized. The essays in this collection provide evidence that the implications of recent musicological critiques have begun to find their way into the music history classroom and into other subdisciplines of music studies, particularly music education. Yet the findings in the three pedagogy articles discussed above also indicate that such integration has likely been slow and uneven.
