Edited by Ruth Wright, Betty Anne Younker and Carol Beynon, 21st Century Music Education: Informal Learning and Non-Formal Teaching explores these pedagogic concepts from varied perspectives and in a broad variety of contexts. Many lenses are used through which to examine these learning and teaching approaches, including gender, cultural relevance and diversity, freedom and constraint, engagement and agency, individualism and consumerism, composing and improvising, and progression and assessment. Use is also considered of new media and technologies such as iPads and DSLR cameras in music learning and production.
