This volume explores educational reforms and innovations in music teaching in England between 1923 and 1999. Gordon Cox investigates the key reforms which attempted to give life to music in schools, and describes teachers' reactions to such innovations. By taking classroom practice and teacher experiences as seriously as policy making and education rhetoric, this book broadens the horizons of historical investigation into music education.
