I'm graduating on Wednesday. Monday is the Valedictory festival, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing all my friends and family at Radio City. RADIO CITY?!?! Hot damn!
That'll be a cool story to tell me kids.
I've been reading music education philosophy all semester, which has been a great experience, but I think I need to start a novel. It's been too long since I've read a good story.
(Note: I did read Farm City by Novella Carpenter, but that was just one. I need more!)
On that note:
Great reads to pick up at your local library (Bobst) if you're interested in music education philosophy.
Oxford Handbook on Music Education (Vol. I and II)
Oxford Handbook on Philosophy in Music Education
Music Matters - NYU's own David Elliott
Praxial Music Education - Edited by David Elliott.
-This one features some great essays by NYU visiting professor Wayne D. Bowman, as well as others by many great thinkers. My favorite was Patricia O'Toole's "Why Don't I Feel Included in These Musics, or Matters"
I would also highly recommend reading articles from the ACT Journal
http://act.maydaygroup.org/
And here are three books that I read last year in a course with Wayne D. Bowman that really changed my thinking for the broader and better:
Music As Social Life: The Politics of Participation - Thomas Turino
Musicking - Christopher Small
Heartland Excursions - Bruno Nettl
Another really fascinating (and brief!) article is Julie Koza's "Listening for Whiteness"
