Designed for music teachers, students, and scholars of music education, as well as educational administrators and
policy makers, the second book in this set explores a broad array of key issues, concepts, and debates related to music learning and teaching in three phases of a childs development.

The first section provides an expanded view of infancy and early childhood, embracing a key theme that most young childrens early music-making is improvised and used to communicate with others and the self. These chapters demonstrate the importance of "motherese" or "parentese" to young childrens
overall development, the extraordinary diversity and richness of childrens early musical engagement, and how this can be viewed as a resource for further learning.

The second section is devoted to the learning and teaching of music during the middle years of childhood, when music is often a mandated part of the school curriculum. While recognizing the enormous cultural and national differences, chapters in this section give an overview of many varied and
innovative forms of musical learning and teaching globally. The authors address issues related to the types of teachers who provide music instructions to children internationally, how they were educated and trained, and how various nations organize their curriculum in ways that provide children with
access and opportunities to engage with music in the classroom.
The third section focuses on the musical experiences and development of adolescents aged 12 to 18. These chapters explore the role of music in the lives of young people-including how they use and relate to music, how music educators can best meet students needs, and the types of musical engagement
that can either empower or disempower students through involvement in school music.
