    Provides a new pedagogical approach to human musicality and music education
  • Reveals how our capacities to live musically and to cultivate a musical life are derived from the legacies of childhood
  • Offers autobiographical and observational data on perspectives of music in childhood
  • Includes a case study of an opera written for babies

In music education, can self-reflection on our pasts help inform better teaching? How can our actions help shape the future of music pedagogy? Before We Teach Music offers stories about childhood memories of music making that generate readers' own recollections and discovery. Drawing from student autobiographies, literature, and a case study of an opera written for babies, author Lori A. Custodero suggests there is much to be learned about our students before we teach them.
