Review :
"If I were to choose one type of musical experience that is the most misunderstood, under studied and poorly taught in "western" music education, it would be improvisation. This wonderful collection of chapters brings new scholarship and approaches to improvisation pedagogy that are badly needed. Especially meaningful is how the authors place the topic squarely in the center of socially-relevant discourse for today’s music teaching and learning. A must-read for new and seasoned teachers and scholars." Peter Webster, Scholar in Residence, Thornton School of Music, University of Southern California, USA. Emeritus Professor, Bienen School of Music, Northwestern University, USA. "This in many respects unique collection of essays has set itself the daring task to acknowledge, confront and research the conflicting trajectories of the life of improvisation in music education, asking important and sometimes uneasy questions. The editors of this collection have put together a diverse collection of essays that problematise how we think about improvisation, pedagogy and learning in diverse contexts. The diversity of perspectives adopted, the rigorous theorisation and the direct links to pedagogic practices that characterise this volume, render it a highly significant contribution to the emerging field of research in improvisation pedagogy." Panagiotis A. Kanellopoulos, Associate Professor, Music Education, University of Thesally, Greece.
