ABSTRACT

As a long-time change activist in music studies, it was my great honor to be part of The College Music Society Task Force on the Undergraduate Music Major and serve as lead author of its Manifesto. Never in my wildest imagination did I envision the document would catalyze the kind of conversation that began to take hold soon after it appeared and which continues to this day. I am thrilled to team up with Patricia Sheehan Campbell and David Myers in this book to take the conversation and consideration of resultant practical strategies to new levels.
