Essay: Hong Kong Music Teachers Ask, "Does Music Education Research Matter?"
This article speaks mostly to music education in Asia, but it does point out some interesting ideas about music education. The essay discusses music education and the fact that not all music education is the same. Depending on the teacher, results of the classroom students can be altered. For example, for my research project, I will see if students perform better on their math assessments following a specific music lesson. If I do not teach this lesson well enough that students can understand my ideas, the results of the test could be drastically different than if the lesson was taught in a way that students could better comprehend.
Some interesting ideas here...Mostly on pgs. 84-86 as these pages are not written specifically about Asia.
