Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the publication of \u003ci\u003eA Basis for Music Education\u003c\/i\u003e in 1979, Keith Swanwick has continued to be a major influence on the theory and practice of music education. The international appeal of his insights into the fundamentals of music and music education is recognised in invitations from more than twenty countries to give Key Note presentations, conduct workshops, and advise as a consultant. These include such diverse places as Kazakhstan, Colombia, Iceland and Papua New Guinea. During 1998 he was Visiting Professor, University of Washington. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection, Swanwick brings together 12 of his key writings to present an overview of the development of his own work and of the field of music education. The text allows the reader to consider Swanwick's approach to music education and how it is characterised by a concern for musical, and to some extent wider artistic, processes, shaped by his experience as a teacher and performing musician in a variety of settings, and also by the influences of philosophers, psychologists and sociologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Swanwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138906433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138906433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Keith Swanwick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087789895935,"sku":"9781138906433","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3203a17-f202-4bda-ab7e-6ee931301703.jpg?v=1769101391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-developing-discourse-in-music-keith-swanwick-9781138906433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
