"A compelling, communicative, penetrating book. It will engage wide
audiences across different disciplines, the different arts, the
humanities and the educators, both scholars, practitioners, and all
those who care about the arts, about being moved, stimulated
intellectually, and inspired."-Liora Bresler Associate Professor
Curriculum and Instruction University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign
"Detel's paradigm relaxes arbitrary academic distinctions to show
how we can educate our young citizens to comprehend new dimensions
of sensory knowledge. This book will stimulate important
thinking."-Anita Silvers Professor of Philosophy San Francisco
State University
"Here, Claire Detels dares to rattle the cages of the status quo in
music education and presents her own broader and integrated vision,
replete with practical examples."-Estelle Jorgensen Editor,
Philosophy of Music Education Review
"This compelling analysis of the academic autism' that results from
the over-specialization and, hence, the fragmentation of musical
study and education in public schols and universities will be read
profitably by anyone concerned about the weak state of music in
schools and society. It is especially valuable for musicians in
academe whose favored paradigms, the author argues, have wrought
unintended and unfortunate consequences. The issues raised are
important but are seldom addressed with such comprehensiveness and
forthrightness. The critique is clearly articulated, even-handed
and well-argued. The proposed softening' of boundaries between
specialties within music, between music and the other arts deserves
discussion, especially in terms of the practical models suggested
from the author's own teaching experiences."-Thomas A. Regelski,
Ph.D. Distinguished Professor of Music SUNY Fredonia, NY
