ABSTRACT

This book seeks to take the prevailing discourse about change in undergraduate music studies to entirely new vistas. In response to the sheer range of music that exists and is accessible to societies across the globe, the book emphasizes the need for new strategies for navigating this expanse, and elaborates on the gulf thateven after decades of reform appeals-is still apparent between much of what happens in most music schools and the broader musical landscape beyond these schools. If the preparation of undergraduate music majors is to become relevant to the work they will be required to do in the world, not only is a wholesale shift in music studies needed, but also in the deliberations that guide the change process.
