{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-music-education-volume-1","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Music Education  Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eMusic education takes place in many contexts  both formal and informal. Be it in a school or music studio  while making music with friends or family  or even while travelling in a car  walking through a shopping mall or watching television  our myriad sonic experiences accumulate from the earliest months of life to foster our facility for making sense of the sound worlds in which we live. The Oxford Handbook of Music Education offers a comprehensive overview of the many facets of musical experience  behavior and development in relation to this diverse variety of contexts. In this first of two volumes  an international list of contributors discuss a range of key issues and concepts associated with music learning and teaching. The volume then focuses on these processes as they take place during childhood  from infancy through adolescence and primarily in the school-age years. Exploring how children across the globe learn and make music and the skills and attributes gained when they do so  these chapters examine the means through which music educators can best meet young peoples musical needs. The second volume of the set brings the exploration beyond the classroom and into later life. Whether they are used individually or in tandem  the two volumes of The Oxford Handbook of Music Education update and redefine the discipline  and show how individuals across the world learn  enjoy and share the power and uniqueness of music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946551242805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199730814","price":216.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199730810.jpg?v=1769956054","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-music-education-volume-1","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
