Synopsis

Inquiry in Music Education: Concepts and Methods for the Beginning Researcher, Second Edition, introduces research and scholarship in music education as an ongoing spiral of inquiry. Exploring research conventions that are applicable beyond music to the other arts and humanities as well, it offers a sequential approach to topic formulation, information literacy, reading and evaluating research studies, and planning and conducting original studies within accepted guidelines.

Following the legacy begun by Edward Rainbow and Hildegard C. Froehlich, this book expands what is meant by music education and research, teaching tangible skills for music educators with diverse instructional goals and career aspirations. The second edition addresses the changes in methods due to technological advances, a proliferation of new scholarship, and an awareness of the impact of place and culture on researchers and research participants.

This edition features:

• the most current information on research tools, strategies to remain up-to-date, and expanded supplemental online materials (see inquiryinmusiceducation.com)
• case studies that reflect recent research and discuss issues of gender, race, and culture previously absent from mainstream scholarship
• an acknowledgment of the assessment demands of contemporary K-12 schooling
• a chapter devoted to mixed methods, arts-based, and practitioner inquiry
• assignments and other resources designed to be friendly for online course delivery
• chapters from contributing authors Debbie Rohwer and Marie McCarthy, bringing additional depth and perspective.

Inquiry in Music Education provides students with the language, skills, and protocols necessary to succeed in today’s competitive markets of grant writing, arts advocacy, and public outreach as contributing members of the community of music educators.
