Book Description
The original Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning was published in 1992 by Schirmer Books with the sponsorship of the Music Educators National Conference (MENC) and was hailed as "a welcome addition to the literature on music education because it serves to provide definition and unity to a broad and complex field" (Choice). This new companion volume, again with the sponsorship of the MENC, will take into account the significantchanges in music education in the intervening years.

Thisvolume features an expanded section on teacher education. An internationally balanced mix of contributors, and sections on arts advocacy, music and medicine, and the sociology of music.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for the first Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning "This massive handbook is certainly, as it is claimed, a comprehensive review of research in music education. . . . This is not a dictionary or simple summary of findings but a series of substantial essays. . . . As we might expect, the effect is impressive. The contributors in general write well and clearly and the text is carefully laid out and meticulously referenced. An index of references and a subject index make access to the details of the handbook easy and logical." --British Journal of Music Education
