James R. Briscoe, ed., Vitalizing Music History Teaching

This edited collection provides a variety of perspectives on pedagogies of music history. Its approach is selective rather than systematic; each essay opens useful and sometimes fruitfully contradictory philosophical and methodological questions. Its diversity of approach, as well as the paperback format and thus reduced cost, make it a sound choice as a textbook for graduate-level courses in pedagogical approaches to our field—courses that are sorely needed at the core of doctoral programs in musicology.
