Each essay offers critical reflections on a key topic in contemporary music education. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe starting point of each essay, and the unifying thread of this collection, is the \"praxial\" philosophy of music education explained in Elliott's \u003cem\u003eMusic Matters: A New Philosophy of Music Education\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 1995). This philosophy argues for a socially and artistically grounded concept of music and music education, challenging the field's traditional \"absolutist\" foundations. \u003cem\u003ePraxial Music Education \u003c\/em\u003eis both a critical companion to \u003cem\u003eMusic Matters\u003c\/em\u003e, and an independent text on contemporary issues in music education. Among the themes discussed are multicultural music education, the nature of musical understanding, early childhood music education, the nature and teaching of music listening, music curriculum development, and musical creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraxial music education is a living theory. This unique collection will not only enrich discussions that already use \u003cem\u003eMusic Matters\u003c\/em\u003e as their core, but will globalize current discussions and applications of the praxial philosophy and emphasize the positive and practical values of collaborative efforts in music education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David J.
