Reviews

This volume tackles a wide variety of topics, with an eye both to the past and to the future, and because of the relatively niche area that it considers—and secondary school music education in Aotearoa New Zealand is indeed a niche field—will remain an important contribution to the literature for years to come. A particularly useful aspect of the book for those who are interested in pragmatic applications of their reading for their music education practice is that the book combines theoretical considerations of music education with pragmatic viewpoints from music teachers, such that the book amounts to a critical reflection on ‘conditions on the ground’. - Sean Scanlen, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies
